His-- WHAT? If he were in a better mood, that line would have left him horribly flustered and confused, but in this case it makes just him even angrier than he already was. Neku is REALLY not in the mood for this bullshit, and the entire time he has his gaze locked on Joshua, eyes narrowed in aggressive suspicion.
Then the response came and Neku knew immediately, from that moment, without a shadow of a doubt that he did not like this kid.
(Not that he liked much of anyone, ever. But there was something about this guy that just.... grated.)
He bristles noticeably at the proffered limb, his posture still stiff and unfriendly; he's basically radiating agitation, still spooked by the fact that even when he's actively searching for it he still can't pick up ANY sort of emotional vibe from this kid, and that just makes him trust him even less.
He declines offering a hand in return and instead locks eyes with Joshua, expression slightly quizzical underneath the classic jaded teenager glare.
