[ It was too much hope for that he'd accept the misdirection, Yako supposes. Neuro after a mystery is like a bloodhound after a scent; he'll accept nothing less than seeing his prey captured, or destroyed.

Not that she expects him to start salivating, but with Neuro, it never hurts to be sure.
But she's not exactly sure how to answer his question, either. He may have acknowledged her as a partner, but above all else, Neuro is a demon -- and there are aspects of being human she doubts he'll ever really understand. Typically, her strategy in these sorts of situations is to struggle until he gets bored, but she has that uneasy feeling that things aren't going to be so easy this time around.
Particularly because, much to her dismay, her body's reacting in the ways it shouldn't to the harassment, heartbeat picking up and blood rising to her cheeks. All things Neuro's only sure to take as encouragement, and she tries to will it down without much success. ]
