Big Salmon Lake warum nicht

Thanks for starting. Again. :D Why aren't there more synonyms for “eyes”?! I hate using the same word over and over again. :<

A colorful vocabulary, this one possessed. The casual profanity spat from the younger wolf's mouth was comical though Tatsuya did not show said amusement, face stony all the way to their destination. Plus, having a mouth full of plants both acrid or just plain leafy did not allow much emotion to pass over one's face. Atreyu need not look any further than his eyes for signs of feeling; they sparkle with mirth, grew dark with worry, glassed over when inner monologue occurred. Atreyu would have to angle his head uncomfortably to be get a look at him. There was rarely a moment when some sort of emotion was not conveyed through his bewitching sunset eyes.
INDENTIt was nerve-racking to find a stride Atreyu could keep up with. The constant fumbling wore on the Epsilon's forbearance. To avoid giving up and leaving Atreyu where he was, he kept reminding himself that his patient was missing a fucking leg and to stop being pissy about something that cannot be avoided. Atreyu was going to stumble and fall. This was to be expected. Didn't mean he had to like it, though.
INDENTOnce they arrived, Tatsuya laid his bouquet down onto the ground, soggy with spit but still functional. Ack! A throng of foul tastes remained on his tongue. He followed Atreyu to the lake, taking water into his mouth before releasing it. The other might think of this as gross but Tatsuya did not want to swallow whatever substances may have sunk into the flesh of his tongue. So Tatsuya did this while Atreyu noisily gulped down the cool liquid. Concerns about dehydration crossed his mind. Well, he's here now so he can get back the water he lost. Yeah, he should be thirsty; throat and body parched like a damn desert. He had his missing leg to thanks for that, too.
INDENTFinished washing out his mouth, Tatsuya withdrew from the mucky bank, walking back over to look over his treasured plants. Hmmm. Which of these should I give him? No, not that one. He's certainly not pregnant. And he's not lactating. Wait. Can males even lactate...? Wait, what? Focus, Tatsuya, focus!
