[Owen is operating purely on auto-pilot right now, and he barely even registers putting his hand out for the scissors which smoothly glides its way out of the drugstore bag to his hand. Jason's shirt is getting cut down the middle (since the last thing he needs right now is more shoulder movement or attempting to phase) and peeled off, and he reaches out to touch his shoulder before jerking his hand back.]
...Christ. [He clears his throat.] ...This will sting. [Antiseptic cleansing is go.]
