fractiously

In a manner that is irritable, grumpy, or easily excited, often characterized by restlessness or a lack of patience.
Adverb

This adverb describes a specific type of irritability that is physically manifested as restlessness or agitation. It is most frequently used to describe the behavior of children or people in high-stress waiting situations, where the frustration is visible through fidgeting, complaining, or an inability to remain still.

In terms of register, it is a sophisticated, literary term. While a casual speaker would use "grumpily" or "impatiently," a writer uses "fractiously" to convey a sense of brittle tension and an imminent loss of self-control.
