He has an impish smile, his eyes twinkle, he looks like a little kid having candy and being pleased about it. So it is easy to know he really likes it and hadn't been expecting to. And he continues drinking it with the little impish twinkle and smile.
Ha-ha. Good description! I would not have been able to describe it this well if I'd tried.
And yeah, most of the time reading nonverbal cues actually helps me navigate the interpersonal world. Effectively, far more often than not. (There's always the danger of being 'that person' who reads what isn't there, who hasn't cultivated the ability to hear how their impression might be inaccurate, and who senselessly blasts others with what's essentially their own baggage. It happens. I'm not even sure what I'm trying to say here. I guess it even feels a bit pretentious to say that reading nonverbal cues effectively helps me more often than not. But even if my batting average isn't immaculate, it's still the truth - it helps me avoid senseless conflict far more often than not. And although I find it exhausting to deal with people who get me wrong, I also find it exhausting to deal with people who can't pick up on any nonverbal cues from me at all. Nonverbal communication *is* important to me.)
