*Alice barely looks at the bones, even as her stomach turns over. She didn't really know Clover, and she doesn't want the distraction.
Instead she focuses on his face, judging him and weighing the options. There's an honesty in that moment that she's stuck on; he's trying to horrify, trying to make them all angry, but he's also talking. Greyback could easily move to disarm and kill her, but he isn't trying now. So either he's playing with his food or he is trying to protect his pack from further harm.
Watching him, Alice leans toward it being the latter of the two. If it were the first, he would still be outwardly aggressive.
Part of her begins to find itself oddly sympathetic to him. Nothing is excused or forgiven, but this brutal act exposes his personality far better than any file ever did.
If they want to deal, it's her side that needs to make the first sign of peace. She's not ready to take her wand down, but she turns her head slightly, eyes still on Fenrir's.*
Release him.
*Alice lifts her chin so that she's fully face-to-face with Greyback again. She wants him to hear her say his name, see how ineffective his show was.*
We didn't come about Clover.
Call them down and talk to us.
*She knows she has to give something in order for this to work, something related to his pack.*

And in return, I will heal your injured.
