I just said “sure”, but what else would a polite host say? We didn’t need it, but it really struck me as odd though.
You’re only option is to say yes in this instance for sure. If you say no it makes you look petty. The guest shouldn’t ask just do or do not (like yoda I guess) to avoid the awkwardness.

For example if they just grabbed their stuff, you may even question it less than when they ask you.
