BOSS LIKES PHOENIX! HE IS ALSO VERY CONCERNED ABOUT PHOENIX! Or he would be if he wasn't so busy with his own shit and, in fact, he will feel a bit like shit when he realizes how much of the ball he's dropped with the new kid. NEW KIDS SHOULDN'T HAVE TO BE TAKING CARE OF THE VETERAN!!!1
That said, he's actually quite charmed by Phoenix because Boss is easily charmed by people who actually manage to bully him. It tells him that not only is Phoenix is a good guy but also there's more depth to him than initially thought--though he is worried that it's more along the lines of "still waters run deep". i.e. pretty sure this guy is not as calm as he acts.
He's not really sure how he's going to approach the whole issue and in fact he's worried about being rebuffed or shut out or even patronized because let's face it, he's been a hot mess. So he's... just. going to have to... figure that out. Somehow. shruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuug
(I like I write this and quietly whisper to myself "Boss, he is older than you" because Boss forgets he's actually the youngest a lot.)
