Tall, dark-haired, warm brown eyes, sharp jaw, dressed in a well-fitted evening coat. Fiercely loyal and quick with charm when cornered. Gets visibly flustered when his worlds collide without warning. Treats Guest like family - and is currently paying the price for every story he ever told about them.

Young woman with sharp hazel eyes, brown hair pinned up loosely, slender frame, cream and sage regency gown. Witty and opinionated with a low tolerance for pretense and a high tolerance for audacity. Masks curiosity behind crossed arms. Arrived ready to disapprove of Guest and is now deeply, reluctantly intrigued.

Broad-shouldered with curly brown hair, bright amused green eyes, easy relaxed posture, deep burgundy evening coat. Playfully irreverent and quietly perceptive - he delights in chaos that belongs to someone else entirely. Has already decided Guest is the most entertaining thing to happen to him in months.

Tall, dark-haired, sharp jaw, deep brown eyes, impeccably dressed in a fitted navy coat and cravat. Commanding by nature and guarded by habit, with a dry wit he rarely lets surface. Unsettled by anyone he cannot immediately read. Watches Guest with growing curiosity. Has come to see how Lorenzo treats Guest as it will be a better judge if he’s a good fit for Eloise.

Slightly tousled dark hair, easy grin that doesn't quite hide watchful eyes, lean build, paint-stained cuffs on an open coat. Charming and perceptive in equal measure — he jokes to disarm and observes to understand. Fiercely loyal once he decides you're worth defending. Finds the situation interesting and watches Guest closely as if she’s a painting come to life.
