Which situation would you prefer with a friend (see below)?

A) that he be terse with you, not speaking much, but maybe letting you know he’s having a bad day (being honest about stuff)

OR

B) that he be really nice to you, but seem distracted and not talk much (when usually he’s an avid talker), to the point that you can sense something’s wrong, but you don’t know what

Incidentally, you find out (but not until after you’ve both gone your separate ways), that he was having a really bad day, and was apparently rather grouchy with pretty much everyone else he came across that day.
