Alcide had it easy with the dream he had seen. Zee's were spectacular. Yeah, sometimes he worried about her when it looked like she might be in trouble, but she always worked her way out of it. With Prim, those dreams/memories were horrible. But he doesn't know Prim from the next person, at least not until this morning, so while he'd felt and experienced those horrible things, there was still a detachment from her because who is Prim? It could have been worse, much worse.
As Zee explains what she had seen, he'd have to be daft and dumb not to see that he was let off easy. Zee had dreamed of him too. And what she dreamed, he's trying to suss it out. He's been around people shooting plenty of times. People exploding, those are vampires. He gets that. And Alcide's been around that a lot too. Mad and betrayed? Alcide has felt those things a lot of times in his life, simultaneously even. But the only time he's felt it around vampires was with Sookie. And the only time he's felt that because of Sookie where gunshots were involved is right before he arrived here. He remembers being shot in the shoulder, then the sharp pain in his temple and waking up here. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out what happened there. That's the end for him.
"I'm sorry you had to see that... to feel it. Not my best moment." He adds the latter with a shake of his head. He should have smelled the wolf hunters in the brush close by. Normally he would have, but he let his emotions override instinct in that moment; anger at Sookie, fear over Sookie's well-being, hurt that she has run off with Bill and lied to him about it to his face, sadness that she only pretended to love him as much as he had loved her. Basically, he was dumb as shit on all counts in that moment and leading up to it. Maybe he got what he deserved.
He thinks to tell her all of this, to fill in the gaps of the dream, but then she says that and he stares at her in shock, almost stopping in the hallways as they walk but making himself keep walking. "You still have your magic." He still has his wolf. "Holy shit..." It's the best he can come up with. He'd hoped, but he'd maybe started not to believe. So this is... heartening. "So we just gotta figure out how to... they're suppressed, like we thought in the first place." He pauses. "How did it feel? Using your power?"
