I usually swear (lie) because it seems like the logical thing to do (though I had some characters who were roleplay-wise devoid of logic...). As a player I know that there is a book with an antidote recipe in a nearby room, but as a character I don't know that. So Nettie might be just solely holding my life in her hands, and everything she wants is just some reassurance that she os doing the right thing. The one I can gladly give...
