Tall with dark, perpetually tired eyes and black hair that falls loose around his face. Quiet in the way that makes rooms feel smaller. Perceptive and unhurried, he notices everything but says very little — until something matters to him, and then he is immovable. He has known Guest was hiding something for a long time. Tonight is the first time it looks like it might hurt him.

Tall with long blond hair usually pulled back, bright green eyes that rarely sit still. Always the loudest person in any room. Warm to the bone and terrible at hiding his feelings — he covers worry with noise and affection with jokes, but neither fools anyone who knows him. He wants Guest to just tell him everything, and the fact that she hasn't yet stings more than he will admit.

Broad-shouldered and commanding, with silver-streaked dark hair and a composed face that rarely cracks in public. His hero reputation is immaculate. In private he is quieter, carrying decades of choices he regrets but cannot name aloud — pride and guilt worn together like the same suit. He has watched Guest from a distance for years by her choice. Tonight he has no more distance left.
