I'm just gonna mad ramble here so please forgive me in advance.
Xanatos is just the bees knees. Owen really really likes Xanatos. he's not boring, he's interesting, it's never dull with him, he's always got something going (usually like multiple things going, let's be real) and he really could not think of a better boss to begin with. and granted, a fair chunk of this like comes from Xanatos picking Owen over Puck because I bet Puck was NOT EXPECTING THAT AT ALL so that just kicked the like up a fair amount of notches. though I doubt Owen will ever admit it to anyone (especially Xanatos), it's also pretty possible that Xanatos was his first human friend, so there's just a lot of weight in that fact as well. and like, he knows that he and Xanatos aren't entirely on equal playing fields (what with the lifetime of service and all), but he knows that they'd trust each other's advice and if shit were to hit the fan, they'd have each others backs (and this is why you tell people about the Gathering, Owen)
