It's so hard not to interrupt the story, even if she knows that it's rude (unless there are specific pauses! Sometimes you're supposed to interject!), and a myriad of questions is already practically overwhelming her brain. Questions of Twolegs (do they really only have two legs?) and monsters...

There's a distinct lack by her side - a Downypaw-sized hole, and it leaves Finchpaw feeling extra lost in this already-unfamiliar place.
