"Better than wearin' nothin', I guess." He gets the functionality of it. Back home, he's saved people in the buff a lot of the time because it's easier to shift from wolf to human and back again without the hindrance of clothes. Maybe that's almost the same thing, except there's no spandex or anything involved. He usually stashes his clothes somewhere where he can go back and get them.

He smirks a bit when she says werewolves and shakes his head. "It's alright. That's what most people who aren't wolves call us. I'm in control of myself when I'm a wolf though, not like a monster movie wolf." And he's only in control of himself because that's the kind of person Alcide is. Most wolves in his world give themselves over to their wolf parts more than Alcide does.

Basically, his home has turned into a war zone for many reasons. Shifters being outed is only a small part of that. "Your secret's safe with me too."

Alcide thinks of Sookie being able to make things move or form a ball of energy to attack people. That kind of seems kind magic, he guesses. Maybe he should let it lie there, but he's also curious, and he just told her his secret, which is... maybe simpler than magic, but still. "Like what kinds of things?"
