[Neo merely smiles up at her in answer to that remark, as if having an eel dropped on her is the least of her worries. Which it is, given she's dodged much more dangerous things than electrified eels in her time.
Watching Nora grab the eels, Neo tips her head with a thoughtful air, her eyes following the motions. She's fast, but could still be fine-tuning the process, and it really is only a matter of time before one of them is in her hands long enough to bite...figuratively speaking. With the flash of a wider smile at the sound of her "companion" getting zapped, Neo takes the full bucket and offers her the empty one before stepping back down the ladder gracefully. Just as graceful is the manner in which she "accidentally" hooks one of her heels on the bottom rung, pulling the ladder subtly away from the tank. Depending on how the ladder's standing right now, it's either an increase to the chance the ladder will fall if the weight at the top moves out too far, or just makes it that little bit harder to reach the eels.
Either way, Neo draws no attention to it, simply placing the bucket down with the first full one and grabbing another empty one to take up with her, still wearing that odd little smile as she perches herself on the ladder again.]
