His ref wasn't supposed to be one of the last to be done, oops.

Faluthei is a Desmodian who really, really, REALLY needs a break from the world. His right wing got injured in a crash and has yet to heal properly. He got 'kindly taken in' by some shady merchant who told him to call them 'Something' and is now their errand boy. Faluthei gets paid in 'Tartary Seeds' who are said to contain healing properties. The constant pain, being grounded and his shitty new boss made him a grump 24/7. He can be somewhat kind... if he wants to.

'Something' is stingy, though, and only pays bare minimum. Not enough to heal Faluthei's injury in a timely manner. So he decided to secretly plant a few of the seeds, hoping to get more to finally heal that damn wing. What he did not expect, was the plant to start talking... Meet Lowle the Tartary-Sapling!
Since Faluthei comes from a strictly frutarian Desmodian Colony, the fact that he basically ate a sentient creature to heal literally turned his stomach.

Feeling bad about having eaten her 'siblings', he and Lowle dissapear one night in hopes to find one of the fabled Paradise Springs.
