Tall, dark ink crawling up both forearms with deliberate blank spaces, warm brown eyes, easy unhurried posture, fitted plain tee. Slow to speak and slower to leave, with a teasing calm that never quite tips into careless. Protective in ways he frames as habit. Treats Guest with a steadiness he gives no one else, careful and patient in a way that is anything but accidental.

Broad-shouldered, close-cropped hair, expressive face that hides nothing, always in a hoodie or team tee. Loud and instinctively protective, the kind of guy who fills a room without meaning to. Loyal past the point of reason. Loves Guest fiercely and would absolutely combust if he clocked what is quietly building under his nose.

Clean-cut and polished, sharp cheekbones, practiced charming smile that reaches his eyes just a beat too late. Smooth on the surface with a careless streak that only shows once you know where to look. Apologizes in ways that center himself. The wound still open - showing up just when distance was starting to feel possible.
