If Clu's being friendly, can she afford to snub him? She'd rather not make anything worse.
"I haven't told him much about this place yet," Yori admits. Known public data is a better topic to allow Clu to overhear than anything else. If it'll amuse Clu enough to keep him from taking his frustrations out on Rinzler, she'll try not to mind. She's just grateful Ram trusted her enough not to attack.
He deserves more explanation than she can give right now, but for the moment-- "This is Clu," she introduces him with a sideways glance at Ram. "Administrator of a system Flynn went on to build in his world, but not in command out here. No one is." A strange state of being. Yori can't quite decide whether to approve or disapprove, but she definitely wouldn't want Clu in charge.
She offers Rinzler's admin a half-nod in wary salute. "There's a truce of sorts in effect."
Clu has power over Rinzler, but any action to harm Yori puts Rinzler's loyalty up for question. Any action to reset Rinzler's memory makes Clu a target for all of Rinzler's surprisingly numerous allies. Rinzler is the only piece Clu has of the Grid, and it makes sense to Yori that Clu wouldn't want to lose him. Meanwhile Flynn is...well, he hasn't upset the whole thing yet.
None of this is quite what she'd want to say in front of Clu.
