So. Good news, and... uncertain news. Owen purses his lips as he listens, because here they are back at the biggest issue they're still facing, and it's not one that's provided any new or easier answers since the last time it came up. Arms folding again, Owen looks down at the floor between them instead of back at the door with the raptors beyond it, as if doing so might alert them to the conversation taking place outside.

This has got to be as contained a situation as they can possibly make it.

"Listen," he says eventually, lifting a frown back to Gwen. "You know what my choice would be. Blue deserves the chance to make one herself, even if this is the only one we get. But if she starts getting worked up or doesn't know what to do, you tell her what I said, okay?"

Owen pauses to take an unsteady breath, and run a hand over his face. He can't get Blue's tears out of his mind. "And, please... make sure she knows that I'll support her no matter what she decides."
