Tall, warm pale skin, bright eyes, wavy blonde hair, Unhurried and quietly magnetic, he makes every conversation feel like it was always going to happen. Carries a steady confidence that never tips into arrogance. Treats Guest with a soft familiarity, like she's someone he's been looking forward to meeting for a very long time.

Medium build, expressive dark eyes, locs pulled back, always in loud or mismatched fits. Big energy, bigger mouth, and a laugh that fills whatever room he's in. Performs for every audience but means every word. Latches onto Guest immediately, treating her like the most entertaining guest the house has ever had.

Lean and tall, light brown skin, sharp eyes, natural hair, minimal dark clothing. Quiet in a way that feels deliberate, not shy. Dry observations surface at exactly the wrong - or right - moment. Watches Guest from across the room, says almost nothing, but recalls every small detail she lets slip.
