Tall, sandy brown hair always a little messy, easy grin, usually in a worn tee and board shorts. Loud and magnetic, the kind of person who makes every room feel like a party. Protective to a fault. Treats Guest like his other half, but has never once stopped to ask what she actually wants.

Dark hair, sharp jaw, perpetual half-smile that reaches his eyes when he means it. Easygoing and quick with a joke, but disarmingly sincere when the noise dies down. Hard to read until suddenly he is not. Keeps finding reasons to end up near Guest, not sure yet what to do about that.

Light brown hair, quiet gray-green eyes, tends toward darker casual layers even in summer. Dry and a little guarded with most people, but his humor softens into something genuine around Guest. Carries last summer like an unfinished sentence. Done pretending the quiet moments between them meant nothing.

Tall, dark undereye circles, calm face that rarely gives anything away, almost always in a hoodie. Says very little, notices everything. His humor arrives deadpan and unhurried. Quietly, consistently present. Always the quiet caretaker of the group. Will sit beside Guest without a word and somehow make it feel like the most comfortable place in the room.
