Unless she'd given him some other explicit instructions, wrangling up the pack would have been his first action anyway. They deserve some clarification now, although Owen still isn't sure he can be especially tactful about it. And there's not much he thinks they really need to know as far as details. If any. He'll let them know what they need to do in order to help their sister recover, and after that they can work together properly.

Difficult though it may be, at least it's something to do. A task. Not an impossible question or decisions he can't possibly make with a clear conscience. He nods, at least certain that he won't let a damn thing happen to any other member of his family.

"Of course I will." And then, because all of a sudden he can catch a single breath, and he might as well do something good with it, he leans closer to Gwen and presses a kiss to the side of her head. "Thank you. I'll be back soon."

And he leaves again, one step closer to putting this hell behind them.
