[ 2B is rather quick to call 9S on his bluff, and there's a bit of an audible sputter as he works to turn away from her. At least in terms of what she can see in the magazine. He wants to keep looking, but it's pretty clear that his cover is blown. There's a rather heavy sense of intrigue and curiosity, as there always is, but he can't help but wonder what all of this is like. ]

[ However, 2B's shift of tone seems to catch him off guard. Is she... Is she jealous? ]

[ 9S squints. He's tempted to make a remark about that, to ask if that's the case. But he knows that is likely a terrible idea, and will also likely end in her vehemently denying it. She's not interested in him that way. No way. ]

I'm-- Not in that way!

[ He closes the magazine, holding it at his side as he takes a step back. It's a known fact that androids can participate in sexual activity, given that combat brings a similar type of sensation to them. But he hasn't exactly partaken in it, and while battle is a thrill, he's not about to admit that he thinks about it in such a way. ]

[ Though, his cover is probably severely blown when his pulse rate hikes and his temperature gauge follows suit. 9S's cheeks dust pink. ]

Who said I was feeling shame? W-Why don't you leave making assumptions for Scanner models like me?
