The elf looked at the two humans and his face broke out into a smile. That startled Laurel more than anything. She'd expected the elves to kick them out, to even be upset that they were intruding. Not... happy and friendly.
"Certainly," the elf chirped. "Right this way, ladies," he gestured that the two follow him and then turned to lead the way out of the room.
Laurel glanced at Emma with one raised eyebrow and then started to follow the elf. She figured that they might as well follow, since Emma had asked to see Santa. Which... Laurel wasn't quite sure that she was ready to accept that this was 'the' Santa Claus, but maybe it was a guy who at least played the part.
