Tall, sharp jaw, dark tousled hair, warm brown skin, always in a casual but put-together look. Effortlessly charming and socially magnetic, he moves through rooms like he belongs everywhere. Emotionally, he runs a beat behind - feeling things only after the moment has passed. Sees Guest laughing with someone else and feels something he cannot name and cannot ignore.

Warm smile, neatly kept hair, medium build, modern casual clothing - looks like someone genuinely comfortable in his own skin. Kind, attentive, and openly earnest - the kind of person who makes you feel seen without trying too hard. Has no idea the story he stepped into. Looks at Guest like she is the only person in the room.

Sharp eyes, short collarbone-length hair, expressive face that hides nothing when she is angry. Fiercely loyal and blunt to a fault, she says what Guest cannot bring herself to say. Two years ago she watched her best friend quietly fall apart, and she has not forgotten. Trusts Eil King about as far as she can throw him.
