Okay, sure -- Marie is a lovely person, but Owen can see why a little bit of her goes a long way for Gwen. Enough so that he has to hide just the barest trace of a grin inside his coffee mug when Gwen finds an (admittedly very clever) excuse to be rid of her for a few hours.
He doesn't exactly have high hopes about Omega eating before Blue wakes up, but it's worth a shot if they can wave some of his favorites under his nose and pray that instinct kicks in. Hell, maybe Blue would smell it and wake up just to take a bite. That's the basket they might as well put their eggs in, because the more time passes without Blue swimming up from that post-op coma, the more heavily the tension vibrates where it's clinging to his spine. Come to think of it, when was the last time they had a decent meal?
"I'll do that," he concedes to the shower (without really knowing what to put on once he gets out of it. Problems for clean Owen). He wraps his arms around her and squeezes gently, kissing her head again before he lets her go. "Don't take too long. I'm starting to think that Blue is the only one around here who's getting enough rest."
Owen kisses her one more time against the side of her head, and then departs for the second floor; he might as well check in on Blue one more time before he takes that shower.
