Owen hasn't gotten enough sleep. Neither has Gwen. Omega is alert whenever a stranger is in the room, but as soon as he's alone with his mate he goes back to sleep beside her, which makes Owen wonder deliriously if they're communicating in dreams or something. At this point, he might as well just expect the unbelievable from his hybrids and their unique physiology.

He should eat, probably, but he's still not sure he'd be able to keep it down. Gwen should also eat, and they both need sleep, especially if she's going to be operating on Blue, but Owen just... he's not useful in hospitals except to stay out of the way, and losing his momentum is putting him at serious risk of toppling over on the spot. But he's not going anywhere until he knows if Blue will be all right.

"You're the doctor," he tells Gwen, with what would be a smile if his face would make that shape right now. "And you need to rest more than I do."
