[Which takes place here.]

"Of course."

It doesn't occur to him to apologise for potentially overstepping; he did nothing wrong.

"By my estimations a majority of the people have already been served lunch, but of we still need to cook more to be on the safe side.

I will take Mr Shen Wei with me to help clean the atrocious mess out there, and once that is done we will join you and Mr Gamgee in cooking."

Sebastian privately thinks that a person who refuses to wear shoes has rather forfeited the right to complain about getting glass stuck in their feet, but in the interest of not having injured co-workers, Sam probably should sit out on cleaning.
It's not that Archer can't object to this-- despite the curt tone it's meant as a suggested game plan. With that said, Sebastian doesn't expect protests as he's already heading for the cleaning supplies.

"That's fine."

Sebastian is eminently rational and efficient about these sorts of things so, of course, he has no objections. When Sebastian comes back with the cleaning supplies, Archer adds:

"I think it is high time we considered an official policy for individuals who want to vandalize the kitchen and dining hall. You're here for most shifts so what do you think would be reasonable?"

Sebastian stops briefly, as much as he'd prefer to head out into the dining hall immediately to start with damage control. Without missing a beat:

"Generally, I find the threat of starvation an efficient deterrent to misbehaviour."

Immediate and complete ban from the dining hall, that's what Sebastian thinks is reasonable. ...Let's be charitable and say he's saying this in the heat of the moment, out of pure irritation with Kikimora.

"...Should you wish for a more kids gloves approach, I will consider possible alternatives and present them once clean-up is done?"

Archer nods once.

“While I’m inclined to agree with harsher guidelines in light of how many times this sort of thing has happened, even before you arrived…I am sure the rest of our colleagues have much softer sensibilities.”

Which sucks, but what can you do?

“Think on it and get back to me. I will think on it as well.”
