One dark brown eyebrow lifted. Sleep? He had given that up long ago. The gray blue eyes were bitter as he looked into the contrasting golden red hues. They were very different creatures. The male before him was obviously not all wolf, and just as obviously male. His coat had the luster of a healthy creature and not a rib showed. Dhiate's eyes glimmered almost jealously. How could he be so healthy while Dhiate struggled to even breathe?
Dhiate's lips formed the words, "No, although sleep wouldn't be unwelcome." No doubt his lips didn't quite convey the message so he tried something he had learned when testing out his vocal chords a couple of days ago. He breathed outwardly like he similarly would when talking, and his rasping did the talking for him. It didn't hurt and worked almost as effectively as actually speaking, although it did tickle. And that set off a fit of coughing that almost covered his stomach's weak protests. Almost.
Dhiate's red rimmed eyes widened in embarrassment and shock at his abdomen's treachery. He had thought that it had long ago ceased it's cries, but apparently he'd been wrong. Dark tipped ears flicked back and his fluffy tail wrapped around him as if he were trying to hide behind it. His narrow chest rose and fell in ragged breaths as he groomed away a noexistant smudge on his flawless coat of creamy white, the color of aging paper. He looked up through dark lashes at the other male. Now that he got a good look, the guy wasn't too bad looking- what was he thinking? They were both guys, that was wrong right? He'd never understood the almost morbid fascination everyone else had in females.
