[ His expression stays quite cheerful, which is almost a comical contrast against his scathing assessment of his coworkers. His words are still relatively polite as well, so all of his complaints tinge towards the passive-aggressive. ]
Oh, yes. The household also has a chef, maid, gardener, footman, and steward in our employ. The chef burns everything to a crisp and is quite apt at causing explosions when preparing even simply meals, the maid is terribly far-sighted and clumsy to the point that I cannot trust her with the fine china, and the gardener has no sense whatsoever of how to keep plants alive, much less being tasteful about their arrangement. The footman is new, but passable, and the steward is the former head butler, so this is effectively his retirement for a lifetime of service... So. It is very busy.
[ And he loves it, really. Sebastian actually takes quite a lot of pride in being able to manage the household perfectly more or less on his own, and there's some sense of that with how he speaks. ]
So if it is playing caretaker, I do not mind at all. I do dislike my hands being idle, so perhaps that is why I was recruited so suddenly? [ Though he laughs, so he doesn't actually think that's why. ]
