Scene: A morning at my office

Coworker 1: He needs to take his elbows off the desk.
Me (to Coworker 2): She wants you to take your elbows off the desk.
Coworker 2: Sure, I'll do that.
Me (to Coworker 1): He says he'll do that.
Coworker 1: Tell him thank you.
Me (to Coworker 2): She says thank you.
Coworker 2: You're welcome.
Me (to Coworker 1): He says you're welcome.

1st why can't CW #2 have his elbows on the desk? Is it his desk or CW#1"s desk?

2nd, why doesn't CW #1 tell CW #2 herself?

3rd Why didn't you simply say "Tell him yourself?

Are CW #1 and CW #2 in a relationship?

Is CW #1 your manager/supervisor?
