Nate asked the elf politely, trying to be respectful as possible. Muggle born Nate didn't have much experience with interspecies relations. "I'm sorry, there isn't a table set up yet for the treats..." he glanced around the room, "They all look delicious, by the way!" And he meant it. That chocolate had his name all over it. But he couldn't had it yet. First, to decorate!
Nate grabbed a bunch of balloons and began to blow them up one by one. He had them mostly strewn randomly around the floor, and his face had become red. The smile showed through though, as this was always one of Nate's favorite things to do: make a mess for a reason.
Oh. Oh, oh, the studentsies were helping! Pips watched with big eyes, but with no offer to hold the tray and no place to set it down, Pips was resigned to continue holding it.
"They is extra delicious for the Missus. Pips is not minding standing here. Pips can stand all day with trays." Pips was so VERY strong.

Hmmm...
"Do you need somewhere to put that?" he asked, cooly so the elf wouldn't do anything like hurt itself.
Yep, cooool.
"Whenever master is ready," Pips bobbed without toppling a single food item on his tray. "Pips doesn't mind."

Turning around, with a red balloon partially hanging from her mouth, Kurumi's eyes widened and she felt giddy. Forget the potion that they had just been offered, Kurumi felt like she was going to float away with glee right now!
"PIPS!" she exclaimed, rushing over to the small elf and bowing to him in greeting. Merlin had she been missing seeing the house elves around the school and in the kitchens "Pips, I've missed you." She eyed the tray. "Here, let me take that for you."
"Yes, mistress. Pips isn't minding holding the tray. Pips is happy to do it." But he was also happy to give it up if she wanted to take it.
"How is mistress's kitty?" He recognized this one from the kitchens, back when they had visitors in the kitchens.
