Of course. I'll be right there.
Gesture & etiquette
Point to the untied obi or attempt to tie it, showing confusion.
The left side of the yukata should always be over the right side (except for burial garments). Do not wear your yukata outside the ryokan if it's considered an indoor garment by the establishment.
