Is languishing the right word for eyes which show lack of energy in a provocative way?

Languishing may be the word you want, but think about it carefully. Provocative suggests action and intent, and possibly very strong intent. That likely makes 'provocative languishing' an oxymoron. You might consider that the character you are developing, if that is indeed what you are doing, is being disingenuous, giving the false appearance of simple frankness [faking the appearance of languishing in order to enhance the real message-- being provocative]. Then you might call them lying eyes, a tired expression to be sure, or you could find some other way of expressing it. Then you have a whole aspect of the character that is interesting. You could devote some time to exploring and explaining what is going on.On the other hand you may want to stay with the ambiguous or oxymoronic 'provocative languishing', and devote some time to explaining that. The 'lying eyes' angle seems like richer territory.
