"Yeah, it does." Alcide adds with a smirk when she says this place sucks. Maybe he should have tried to make it sound like the situation is better than it is. But Alcide has never been good at sugar coating things or pretending they aren't what they are. He's a truthful kind of guy, which is good, because that means he doesn't lie very well. But also... he doesn't lie very well when he might need to.
What he does realize is that she really misses her people, not just being where she used to be, but who she used to be there with. "But maybe us loners should stick together." He's probably a poor substitute for her people. But he's also a decent person and that has to count for something. "I'm no super hero." although he's saved a lot of people in his time. "But I'll have your back if you need it."
It's nice that she doesn't mention shifters. In Alcide's experience, there are good and bad of all kinds. He's never been one to judge a whole people together. He's helped humans. He's helped fangers. He's helped shifters. His mind set is very rare in his world though. "Yeah, I hear that. Somebody's gotta check people doin' stupid shit. I mean, when they're wrong." Leave it to Alcide to boil it down to the most simplistic of terms.
