"Is that the name?" He shook his head, making his right arm close again around that shiny shape, and looked back up to Skisan again. "We're the same. We're kin. I changed. I'm... like them now. I remember that much." A gesture toward the trees close behind him, and then a slight pause, and he looked more confused, turning to look at them more directly. "...Aren't I? I'm...."
He was still trying to figure this out, but he seemed pretty certain that, somehow, the two of them were somehow alike. The idea that they weren't looked like one he was simply not entertaining seriously; whatever his understanding of this all was, it seemed quite different from the Vulcan's.
