How disappointing she hadn't gotten a look at what took her. Then again, the same had happened to a demon of his caliber - he can't hope to expect a human, even with her extraordinary far-sightedness, to see it either.
What she says next has him arching his eyebrow in that faintly disappointed way, as if he expected better of Mey-Rin.
"Yes. The new footman. I would imagine he's quite hard to miss due to his entourage of snakes that he's assured me won't bite the other staff," Sebastian replies. "Perhaps it slipped your mind or your glasses needed cleaning again."
Or she hadn't been paying attention. Which can happen with the Phantomhive staff - ignoring Tanaka's always exemplary work - but he imagines that getting a new coworker would stand out even to the most scatter-brained employee. By now they have reached a corner, Sebastian neatly stepping over a muddy puddle. He'll turn and easily assist Mey-Rin as well with one hand, less out of chivalry and because he means to protect her only set of presentable clothes.
