You described it perfectly!
and the whole situation is amusingly ironic that its so chef's kiss, poor Phil having to deal with not one but two fathers who have vague ideas on how to father someone properly but at least they're trying
Elincia demanding more love from her father after such a short time than he has ever shown to Phil in her entire lifetime. Ma'am that Sir doesn't know how to father.
And the fact that he's throwing his dignity outta the window to act kinder towards Phil after seeing how unsatisfied Elincia was with his reaction, was peak comedy.
Imagine the fury, if Elincia ever find out that she's kinda helping him to become a better father to Phil.
