The other disciple

John 18:15-17 - Simon Peter and another disciple were following Jesus. Because this disciple was known to the high priest, he went with Jesus into the high priest's courtyard, but Peter had to wait outside at the door. The other disciple, who was known to the high priest, came back, spoke to the girl on duty there and brought Peter in.

"You are not one of his disciples, are you?" the girl at the door asked Peter.
He replied, "I am not."

It's commonly assumed that the "other disciple" was the writer, John, himself. Whether it was or not, if he was still close enough to hear Peter's exchange with the girl, I wonder what kind of looks he and Peter exchanged afterwards.
