Sorry, Meabby! I have no sensible ideas ... are you sure of both your letters?
a far-fetched suggestion ... gaur - Indian wild ox (moo?) - could sound like gore which could be disconcerting, but I don't like it.

Hi meabby! Is there any chance you've missed a letter from the clue & the 'R' is wrong?..

I was trying 'disconcerting' out & got 'fazing', so...

If it read "Moon's appearance...", then -

Faze (disconcerting) 'reported' (sounds like) Phase (??)

Not really happy with it, but I have no other ideas at the moment, sorry... :-(

12a fleme .... flee + m

[Lie-in King]

12a Fle-M-e
15a St-a-Simon

10d bean

[Lie-in King]

10d Bean - 'Pulse' is the definition, & '...when listened to' the wordplay

That would be my choice...

[meabby]

thanks to you both - any idea on 1 ac ( as then I'm done!)
