Owen isn't entirely sure what happened -- unless she was a lot more excited about the whole trip idea than she'd seemed at the time -- but the change in Blue that's come about over the last few days has been a victory in itself. It's the resilience he knew she had; it took its time getting here, but better late than never. She's not entirely herself just yet, but Owen feels like it's the first time he's seeing her since... before Isla Sorna.

While Omega remains docile in the backseat, Owen watches Blue in glances with a very affectionate grin on his face and lets her touch whatever she wants, making it highly likely that she'll figure everything out before he does. She's welcome to it, being the only one among her siblings guaranteed not to break something.

"Seems like it, doesn't it?" He's not sure which gives him a better feeling right now: knowing that's true, or hearing Blue say it now. "You think she'll keep me around?"
