She shrugs. On the long list of things Rani could have done to her, asking her about something she was (mostly) willing to talk about doesn't score too harshly. "It's okay. You wanted to protect yourself, right?"

It's what Daryl would have done, she bets; it's what Daryl did, back before he told her about his life before the turn. From the outside, she thinks it's understandable.

Besides, Rani looks like she's offering to drink cod-liver oil or something. If she actually wants Beth to take her up on the offer, she's terrible at showing it. So all she asks for the moment is, "Are you really a queen?"
