It's also for the better that he's so dumbfounded by seeing her - smelling her, and that's how he knows that she's very clearly still alive (and that is probably yet another lucky point, that he's anxious enough to activate the Gift that gives him a wolf's senses in homid form).

Her words don't really manage to drive anything home but the realization that yes, she is instead still alive and over there and... Doesn't seem to pose any kind of threat, still.

"You should be dead."
