Her own mind had betrayed her and distracted her. When her attention was called by Absinth she literally startled from looking at the marks her paw had made in the soil and snarled audibly. Showing all that perhaps she needed this lesson more than the others. She huffed at her obvious failure at composure. She sat up tall, finding her limbs released from their tensing. She will learn from this. Holding oneself tensely leads to unreadiness! She had been startled! Her face relaxed as she absorbed her own internal lesson and applied it to what her mother was saying! She was destined for greatness! Yes! She mirrored Absinth's facial expression and pose the best she could, setting her face to pride and expectation. Be *smart* about controlling her own emotions, got it.
