Why was smiling so hard to do on purpose?

He grew frustrated after a moment and shook his head.]

Forget it. This venerable one can practice later. He has news to share.

[He straightened up and the excitement was back in his eyes. His smile growing despite his conscious ability to do so.]

You remember Orchid. She is difficult to forget, so you must remember her. She has agreed to marry this venerable one!
