I suppose an example would be best?No offense or anything, but expressions can really only give you a general idea of a situation, of course they can tell a story themselves, but your examples perhaps give a little too much information. It is fine showing how a character feels, towards the end there it's broke into describing her feelings outright which no one else but your character can take account for. I tend to avoid writing feelings, and focus on the physical body language.
Quote:There was no pleasure on Terrin's face as he scowled at his friend. Staring daggers, Repil knew what he'd done and made no apology for it, which only served to anger His mute friend even more. Terrin had His arms crossed in defiance, reinforcing the displeased look that lingered.
Another, Just in case.
Quote:Seiria paused in thought. Bringing Her hand to her face and tapping a single digit against her porcelain toned cheek in thought. Red eyes Scrunching momentarily while she gazed upwards. It looked as if the poor girl would bust a gasket, until an Idea struck! her face Lighting up like a tree with a finger pointed in the air declaring she'd come up with a solution! Sadly, the look faded as she realized that it would be impossible to convey without words.
Example: She sat down at the table with a loud thud, she noticeably had dark rings around her eyes. Her hair tangled and messy. It was clear she hadn't been sleeping. With another loud thud she planted her face into her arms cradling her head, soon after a loud snoring could be heard from the girl.
Over all, I feel you can be descriptive, and over descriptive.
