Late 60s Broad-shouldered with a weathered face, short silver hair, sharp dark eyes, always in a worn flannel or undershirt. Blunt, impatient, and allergic to sentimentality. But his principles run deep and his loyalty, once given, is immovable. Pushes Guest hard when he slips - but never once walks away.

Mid 60s Warm brown skin, dark hair streaked silver, kind crow's-feet eyes, usually in a bright housecoat or apron. Nosy in the gentlest way - asks too many questions and means every one. Finds the soft joke inside a hard moment without flinching. Adopted Guest quietly before he even noticed, leaving food at the door and keeping the hallway a little less cold.
