Mi pregunta es en realidad por el sentido del uso de esta expresión en el contexto, porque no le veo lógica. ¿Por qué iba a sonreír alguien cuando está de mal humor? ?__?¡Gracias de antemano! :o)

de mal humor
creo que justamente se refiere a eso, aunque no parezca lógico, quizá tenga sentido en el contexto si se trata de una persona algo "extraña" (???)
Suerte!!!
