[He's right, she's pissed. But it's one of those transitory kinds of pissed-off moods, where she'll get past it once she finds a way to let off steam. Later, where there are no witnesses, especially Nagisa.]

[What she's covering for is no one's business but her own. How can she know if he's susceptible to torture or not? If some Fourth fucker tries to force information out of him, she can't know for sure that he won't spill that secret. She's already tortured two of the enemy, all while keeping her true identity a total secret; there's no telling how they'd come down on her if they were to learn who she is.]
