Ryuuk, from 'Death Note'

"So… you're a shinigami as well?"
There was a short nod, and the wide unerring smile did not waver.
"But, according to the files from our Research and Development Institute, you're from a different plain as to where we are."
"Indeed."
Hisagi felt his own half-smile widening to match the visitors.
"Very well. I am Lieutenant Shuuhei Hisagi, and I am here to escort you to the Captain who will be observing you during your visit. Unfortunately, he is running a little late."
His smile, although he did not think that it could, grew wider still. His own followed suit and he cursed his mouth, acting of its own accord. They walked silently, and he stretched taller, feeling a little inadequate. He watched, out of the corner of his eyes, the other shinigami run his fingers over the large black book tucked into his belt and wondered, for a moment, what it was that he was here to deliver.
"Ah, you must be Ryuuk."
The long-limbed shinigami pulled the book out fully, and nodded his head silently to the Captain.
Gin turned his head to the side, his smile widening slightly. Apparently, this was a theme.
"You're a lot… uglier than I thought you'd be."
Hisagi ducked out of sight, rubbing his cheeks.
How on earth did they smile that much without permanent muscle damage?
