[Before the barrier has closed in too much to make it possible, Owen slams his fist (since kicking is already out of the question) against it - not in a frustrated manner; just to test it. And of course it's fruitless, like he expected, so that's all he'll do about that.
And hi there, very close indeed. Owen is just going to stare (up? down?) at Ashura, unamused but seemingly not very panicked about this.]
