She must have zoned out, because one moment Primroseadder was talking to Mosspaw and the next she had an annoyed look on her face. Fine. I'll demonstrate. Irisfrost frowned, wondering how that had happened. She had never had a problem with zoning out. Maybe the events of the last few moons- the last few seasons, even- were affecting her more than she realised. She didn't like that thought.

And slllooooowly raising a paw...
