Even if they were smiling very sweetly?

Y'know, if I'm drinking someone else's life fluid/coffee, I think they should have the common courtesy not to interrupt me with their facial expressions.

Edited to add random Salvage thoughts:

• Wesley! *sniff* You where this close to making me cry by just lifting an eyebrow, damn you and your expressiveness.

• Everyone and their cousin from England has discovered this before me, but Faith/Wesley? So totally pushing the limits of allowable sexiness. They have rules about this sort of thing, you two!

• Am I the only one who sat through the entire episode pointing at Cordelia and squealing 'Evvvilll!' ? I was spoiled so I've basically been doing that since the begining of the season and you'd think I'd get bored of it, but it hasn't happened yet.

• The final C/C scene was so. damn. funny. 'Connor, I'm having your obviously evil spawn, so we have to make out to this creepy music...mmmkay?'

Yeah; but it's different from the drinkee rather than the drinker's point of view. If I was living in coffee, and someone started drinking it, I'd be doing everything I could to interrupt them. Including smiling, sticking my tongue out, and possibly blowing bubbles.

Jeeze, just because you choose to ignore Miss Manners' adivce on the proper etiquette involved when someone starts drinking the fluid in which your scientifically preserved head is floating...

Well how freaking rude is it to just walk up and start drinking someone's head coffee? Sheesh.

Just for the record, what does Miss Manners' advise when someone starts drinking the fluid in which your scientifically preserved head is floating?

I like to know these things.

"Excuse me, sir, but you appear to be encroaching on my fluids. Please desist."

How am I supposed to say that, pray? I'm literally over my head in coffee! I can't talk! I can't even use sign language!

I think when someones given you head it's only polite to offer them coffee.

"Blub blub blub BLUBITY BLUB, blub!"

Maybe the head is genetically engineered to produce sonar? In which case, "Eeeee! Eeeeeee!"

Genetically engineering speech out of females is a silly thing to do. Because that pretty much puts the onus of raising the children onto the males, something I suspect the chauvinist males wouldn't like very much. Because, hello, how do you raise a child without being able to bellow CHARLES WALLACE MURRY! RETURN YOUR BOTTOM TO MY VICINITY THIS MINUTE SO I MAY WHACK IT AT MY LEISURE! To say nothing of the warning child and/or car that they are in danger of colliding. To say nothing of being able to answer, "What's for dinner?" for the eleventy-millionth time. To say nothing of being able to moan loudly during sex.

Speech [and its non-auditory visual equivalents] am good. Large populations without capacity for speech am a really big pain in the butt.
