Alcide makes himself sit on the side of his bed, leans forward to rest his elbows on his knees and laces his fingers together. He takes a slow, deep breath to try to calm the energy inside that has nowhere to go. Derek looks like he's resting well, calm and collected. Alcide is having a problem with that. But he's trying, really, in spite of the ridiculous upset that Derek and Buffy are a thing. It's better that he knows now, anyway.

"I'll tell her." He tells Derek with a nod. Buffy will wake Derek up and Alcide will... man the fort until they get back.

He wants to ask if they've found anything interesting in their night time explorations, but it looks like Derek is done with the conversation and Alcide doesn't want to push having just met the guy. Especially after his own outburst and the chill way Derek had handled it. He can ask Buffy later. There's also a small part of him that wonders if 'explore' is code for something else.

"I'll let you rest until then. Sorry for the... you know." That thing he did.
