smiles and lies
 

Lance only ever started a smile with half his mouth at a time. It was as if the rest of those mobile lips would hesitate, tentatively waiting for a sign to show them what to do. Even his expressive eyebrows merely completed his range of expression, offering no real depth of emotion.

His eyes - the supposed windows to the soul - they lied more easily.

...very rarely was his smile genuinely completed. Oh, but his eyes, they smiled for the rest of his face. That was the skill behind the secret and the reason even his smirk was inviting.
