[It's also Serph's first time seeing an oasis, the still, odd-coloured water also capturing his attention albeit with far less awe. But he does marvel quietly at how the light of the sunset hits the oasis' surface, scattering and diffusing, staying quiet by the water's edge as the other drifter has his moment.
To Serph, this world already has so much more plant and animal life than what he's used to seeing. The main thing that's missing is human life besides themselves. Imagining something more is beyond him, save for the strong mental image of a beach and tropical trees filling the background. It's only in response to the statement that he finally speaks.]
We found writing suggesting this is the result of a failed ritual.
[Serph himself looks mostly human, were it not for the six wings folded at his back and the dark feathers covering much of his torso.]
We're key to fixing it. Or so the local groups believe.
