Shadow jumped when Kiba fell in pain. She felt the air seem to change a moment prior, and sat at his head and licked him between the ears, watching the two appendages rip out of his back. Good thing we are near the river, she sprung up and got more wet moss. She let it drip over his back, and soon he stood. She hopped backwards, and dropped the moss. Her fangs had leaked a small amount into the moss, she had forgotten that they were still leaking their toxic venom. She hoped it didn't interfere with the growths, but she figured if they had, it wouldn't be much.
Shadow purred in laughter softly at his joke before following closely beside him. She could see he was exhausted, and thought the awkwardness of his wings showed either inexperience with wings, or just being too tired and painful to bother trying to move them. Or both. So I suppose you will clean the rest of the blood off when we get to wherever we are going?

Kiba had felt comforted by Shadow licking him in between the ears when he was on the ground, despite the pain he had been in. It gave him reassurance that she was there to help him. After the wings had grown she placed some wet moss on his back to wash away some of the blood, which would help keep the wounds clean. He noticed her let out a purr of laughter at his joke, and was glad he had lightened up the situation. "Hm, yes I think I will. You washed off most of it, so it will be fine. I appreciate that, thank you" he said before licking Shadow and then resuming his pace walking "I hope we get somewhere walking this way." Kiba noticed his paws were picking up more and more debris as they walked, and he tried to shake them off but had no luck. He decided to simply continue walking with leaves and twigs sticking to his paws.

Shadow continued following closely beside Kiba, occasionally dodging a wing. Her fur was ruffled, spikes standing on end. She would flatten them, and they would stubbornly wouldn't lie completely flat. She shook out her pelt and hopped up beside the wolf. She noticed his paws were picking up debris, and her own paw leaves were being shredded, so she veered off in search of more.
She passed another tree similarly different to the surrounding as the seemingly carnivorous one before. It had the cave and everything, root-woven floor, slightly different glow of leaves. She kept her eye on it as she stepped onto four more cleaner leaves, and found four more. She hopped back to Kiba and dropped the other set in front of him.
Not as weird as you might think, easier to walk with sticky paws. She had noticed that the leaves would shred often, but they protected her paws from smaller debris that would annoy her to the point of chewing her paws off. It would take some getting used to, but leaves are better than sticks and stones. Don't worry Kiba, she meowed, you would get used to them sooner than you may think.

Kiba saw Shadow find some more large leaves for her to wear on her paws, avoiding a tree that looked similar to the one that had tried attacking earlier. He stayed close by her so that he could jump in and protect her just in case the tree tried attacking, but it did not. Shadow hopped back over to him with another set of four large leaves, and gave it to him. "Thank you" he said "yes, it would be quite better, im starting to notice that it is getting to be quite an annoyance having all this debris stick to my paws". He wiped off his paws on a tree root and stuck each one onto a leaf. His paws felt much better having something under them shielding them from sticking to other things. He continued walking and appreciated very much the leaves that Shadow had given him. As he walked he began to notice a strange feeling in his mouth. He saw an unusual liquid dripping from his fangs it appeared, that was not saliva or blood. A drop fell onto a patch of grass, and produced a sizzling sound as it burned the plant. "Well, thats certainly pleasant" he said "have you noticed this happening to you as well?" Kiba stopped to ponder the potential uses of this new adaptation. He imagined it could be very useful in combat. After thinking for a moment, he resumed a steady walk in the direction they had been going, making sure that Shadow was beside him as he went.

Shadow looked at him unamused. No, Kiba, this liquid which destroyed an entire chunk of moss earlier is nothing alike your leaking fangs with the same burning of leaves. Yes, actually, if you remember back by the river? Watch. She licked her fangs and bit into a thin nearby branch. The area where she bit turned white, sizzling, bleached and dead, instantly. She stopped before it got completely across, and it started wilting in pale grays. It appeared to be dying and fighting to survive. However, the neurotoxin had cleared a layer and severed the branch from its source of nutrients and the white spread the length of it, and it fell with a crash. The branch wasn't very big to begin with, but it was dead.
So I guess we are part snake now? She hopped over it. She turned to see if Kiba was following, and then made her way due south through the trees.

Kiba watched as the branch Shadow had bit sizzled and fell. It burned the wood and turned it white before separating it from the tree from which it had grown. "Ah, yes I remember. This certainly is a strange adaptation weve acquired" Kiba said as he watched the branch burn. "Hm, I suppose we are part snake now" he said. He continued following her when she resumed walking, seeing that she was looking back to make sure he was. He thought about how these strange mutations of their bodies might have use, and walked wondering what they might find next on this new world.
