Marama: "By no means this is for a bad reason. Being human has it's ups and downs, but it saves more every in the end. It does serve as some protection some, but..."

"..."

"Sometimes you need to change and adapt to your surroundings. You of all would understand, right?"

The being and their friend are no two ordinary duo. A strange aura rises from the “human”.

With them trying to fully recover from aphasia from...whatever may have caused it in the first place, it was difficult to express their mood. Marama’s initial glares of distrust did not help the two seem welcoming, though it was mere habit - no true sense of violence was intended - nor intended to be implied. It was moreso they were somewhat weary, to make sure no sudden moves were made, especially towards their companion.

Despite this, the appearance and everything instantly gave Lumin away - hence the immediate welcome into the cave.

“...Stay warm.” Was all they had to offer for now, their tone...not as menacing as their eyes made them seem.

Kai Long, on the other hand, whilst sticking close to his human-formed compatriot, poked and prodded at the fire with a floating stick. “Sure is one heck of a storm out there, huh? Guess you and us had the same idea.” 

Kai Long: I think they're fine! Gaining something you lost is overwhelming, yes? Give it time. That way I can bug him about it more

Lumin swooping in to catch Kai Long was definitely a surprise, though hearing a light thump from the other party made him wince.

"Thanks a bunch for saving me, er...Necrozma #2!"

"Hey, Marama! What gives!?"

...

"...Marama? Selas?"

No verbal response. The occasional flickering of consciousness flashes, but fades just as quickly.

"This hasn't happened before...I can only guess what's happening...for once I swear it wasn't my doing!"

"Man...it's been a while since we've seen anybody. Though now that we are backtracking, maybe we will run into some new faces? Man, that would be exciting, right Marama?"

"..."

"Quiet as usual, huh? Hehe."

"Wait, what's that sound? That wasn't you, was---"

"Woah! Hey, wake up! You're gonna--!!"
