Owain says a lot of weird things, it could be Easter eggs, or it could just be Owain.
When you stare into the abyss the abyss stares back after all.

No he had always done it.
He also had the sword named after Eldigan's Mystletainn

I feel that it's fitting (based on the missiletain discussion above) to share this dialogue quote, when Owain gets the sword. It kind of shows his whole referential/meta trait that he has...he's just great.

Villager: You're a kind soul to fight for strangers so. Here, you must take this.

Owain: By the ghost of Ike! I've found it at last! The fated mate to my sword hand! ...The divine blade, Mystletainn!

Villager: Er, I'm afraid this is a blade of extremely common make, sir. I was using it to dig a well, but I figured you might--

Owain: Come, Mystletainn! Destiny beckons!

Villager: I also used it to cut small vegetables before it got dull. ...Er, hello?

On the above topic of Owain's sword, it should be noted that he (Owain) misspelled the weapon when compared to Eldigan's. Probably cause he's probably just spouting off random stuff half the time. And I wouldn't have it any other way. Now, if only I could summon him...
