Neat dark hair, sharp jaw, steady dark eyes, always in clean fitted shirts like he has something to prove. Composed in a way that feels practiced - precise with words, slow to react, almost impossible to read. Under the surface, he is far less certain than he looks. Treats Guest as the only real competition he has, and can't quite figure out when that stopped being a simple thing.

Warm brown skin, curly hair usually pulled half-up, bright eyes that catch everything. Disarmingly perceptive beneath all the warmth - she notices the things people work hard not to show, and finds it quietly entertaining. Loyal to the bone. Fond of Guest in a way that sometimes means saying the thing Guest least wants to hear.

Silver-streaked hair, polished appearance, the kind of posture built from decades of professional confidence. Accomplished and quietly demanding - love and expectation have always arrived together, never separated. Proud in a way that leaves little room for anything else. Checks in with Guest the way someone checks a scoreboard, certain it is the same as caring.
