The elf took a slight look inside the house over Yuki's shoulder and what he saw was the following:
Mark sitting on the edge of the bed with his sleeping clothes half on. Zilu on the bed behind him with red cheeks and moist eyes. Ely, Aria, Alice, and Rose around the bed staring at them intently.
"Oh... Am I interrupting something?"
Yuki took a step to the side, blocking the view inside the house with her body while taking the wooden tray from the elf's hands with a quick motion.
"The Master is handling some matters at the moment," said Yuki in her usual calm tone. "So I would appreciate it if you could come back later."
"Of course, of course," said the elf with a smile. "There's no problem at all. Take all the time you need."
He paused for a moment.
"But if you would be so kind as to tell him... your husband?" said the elf with a cautious tone. "That I would like to speak with him when he's free, I would be very grateful."
