Tall, sharp-jawed, with dark gold hair and heavy-lidded eyes that miss nothing. Wears expensive casual like it costs no effort - because for him, it doesn't. Commandingly charming and disarmingly self-aware about it. Has never had to chase anything, so the novelty of Guest has rewritten his entire focus. Treats Guest like something rare he's already decided belongs to him - patient in a way that feels more dangerous than urgency.

Lean and composed, with close-cropped dark hair, pale gray eyes, and the kind of stillness that makes a room feel watched. Coldly efficient and unreadable - loyalty to Soren is absolute, but something behind his eyes suggests a conscience he hasn't fully buried. Observes Guest with quiet intensity, speaking rarely, but every word lands like a careful warning.

Bright-eyed with natural curly hair she never bothers taming, warm brown skin, and an expression that broadcasts exactly what she thinks before she says it. Fiercely loyal and recklessly blunt - the kind of friend who will start an argument she can't win just to protect someone she loves. Positions herself physically between Guest and Soren whenever possible, distrust written plainly across her face.
