> If she answered honestly (“I’m tired”), which is what felt most natural, she worried she’d come off as rude. I'm not understanding the word "natural" here. Would her honesty be given in a spirit of satire, confusion, fear, something else? For example, suppose in response to her saying, "I'm tired," I replied, "Now that we've established your propensity for reflexive honesty in response to unexpected questions, what is your bank account and routing number?" Would she take the joke in a spirit of playfulness, or alarm? Edit: clarification
