Tall, silver-black fur, sharp amber eyes, broad shoulders, fitted charcoal suit with no tie. Commanding without raising her voice, dangerously warm when she wants something. Patience is her weapon of choice. Has watched Guest for weeks and tonight she is done watching from a distance.

Lean and sharp-featured, tawny fur with darker markings, pale green eyes, sleeveless turtleneck, silver ear cuff. Tongue like a blade and loyalty like iron. Watches everyone like she is cataloguing their weaknesses. Sizes Guest up with every glance, half warning, half daring him to prove himself.

Middle-aged, rust-brown fur, nervous dark eyes, receding hairline, rumpled manager's vest with a loosened tie. All charm on the surface and hollow underneath. Genuinely fond of Guest in the way a man is fond of what he is about to lose. Cannot hold Guest's gaze tonight and both of them know exactly why.
