Long dark hair half-pinned, pale gold eyes, always dressed like she just stepped out of a forgotten era. Speaks like every sentence is a door left slightly open. She knows more than she admits and admits more than she should. Finds Guest before Ming Yue does - but her warnings never land clean.

Dark cropped hair, sharp eyes that flick away too fast, leather jacket worn soft at the seams. Sarcastic by habit, guilty by nature. He deflects with wit to avoid admitting he cares. Has been watching Guest for weeks and is no longer sure whose side that puts him on.

239+ Long black hair, silver-tipped ends, dark eyes with a faint unnatural luminescence she keeps dimmed, elegant figure draped in deep jewel tones. Unhurried in the way only something ancient can be. Possessive in the way only something that has waited centuries can justify to itself. She knows Guest's name, her habits, her favorites - she has loved this girl across lifetimes she was never allowed to enter, until now.
