Tall, heavy-shouldered build, dark cropped hair, cold eyes that hold too still, worn jacket he never takes off. Intimidating without effort, volatile beneath the surface. Every word he uses like a test to see if you'll flinch. Has decided Guest is the problem - and hasn't figured out yet that the rage isn't really about them.

Slight frame, sandy brown hair kept pushed back, watchful hazel eyes that flick away too fast. Quiet and perceptive, carries guilt like a weight they won't put down. Knows more than they say and hates that about themselves. Watches Guest carefully - deciding, every minute, whether to speak up or disappear.

Medium build, neatly kept appearance, pale sharp eyes that never seem to blink enough. Calm in a way that reads as dangerous, calculates every social exchange like a move on a board. Polite until it stops being useful. Views Guest as a variable to be resolved - friendly pressure first, then whatever else it takes.
