[But what he does give is a look of shock and an exaggerated gasp.] My lord! How have you not seen him? He has been here since before even you arrived, though not by much longer.
[He scoots his chair back and gets himself up to go retrieve a life sized false skeleton prop from the chair in a corner beside the fireplace, still on display from the Halloween decorations he and Ciel had acquired.] Here we are! Meet Albert. [He sits the skeleton in one of the empty chairs at the table and lifts a wrist to wave its hand.]
Albert, meet Earl Vincent Phantomhive. I'm such a shameful host! I can't believe I forgot to introduce the two of you. And you've been living in the same house this whole time! [Giggling to himself, he sits back in his own chair and takes a sip from his tea like it's nothing.] There now. That's better.
