[he'll just...put that leftover chinese food away before going to retrieve his pajamas, standing a bit awkwardly in the great room]

"....apologies. I came at the wrong time, didn't I?" [at least Elijah has the grace to look sheepish] "Gertrude sent me to check that you both ate enough."

"That's understandable. It'll all be a little better sorted in the morning, I think. Either way, a good sleep will do you wonders."

[gently] "I'll make sure Gertrude doesn't disturb you while you're preparing for bed. She's just...worried."

[.....Elijah just...looks at him a moment. Because sure. It didn't bother him either.

Until, of course, he had his own child and realized how utterly horrible and awful his own parents had been.]
