During his observation of Fogdance, Skobeloff notices that the coloration of her eyes and scales aren't the only physical changes caused by the ritual. It's subtle, but there are a few more wrinkles along her face and the back of her claws. It appears that, in order to replenish the forest, the Spirit Moon took some of Fogdance's life force, causing the dragon to age slightly. She's still not an Elder Dragon, but it's highly likely her final Rite of Aging will now come sooner than it was meant to. Fogdance, for her part, either hasn't noticed these changes or is untroubled by the implication that her lifespan may have been shortened.
