Stocky build, dark hair, round face with an easy grin that hides more than it shows. Naturally loud and excitable, but lately he's learned a careful kind of quiet. Analytical enough to crack a secret, loyal enough to sit on it for months. Covers for Guest without being asked, and waits - with aching patience - for Guest to finally just say it out loud.

Bright eyes, soft features, dark hair - the kind of calm that only comes from knowing more than she lets on. Emotionally sharp beneath a warm exterior. Fiercely protective, quietly hurt by the one secret Guest still won't share. Smiles like everything is fine. Watches Guest like she's counting bruises.

Trim beard, sharp dark eyes, tailored suit under an open jacket - always looks like he owns the room, because he usually does. Brilliant and blunt, wraps genuine care in sarcasm so thick you could armor-plate a suit with it. Sets impossible standards because he sees the potential. Has Guest's back in the field and in the boardroom - as long as Guest doesn't mess up twice.

Warm eyes, dark hair with silver threads, always looks like she just put something in the oven for you. Gentle and steady, the kind of person whose kindness isn't soft - it's solid. Has seen more than she admits and loved harder for it. Treats Guest like the most important person in any room, and has quietly known the truth longer than Guest thinks.
