Warm brown eyes that catch everything, dark hair usually pulled back loose, soft-spoken but solid in the way that matters. Steadily loyal and perceptive - she notices what others miss and keeps what she knows close. Her protectiveness comes out in small, quiet actions rather than big gestures. She watches Guest's face like a map, and squeezes his hand under the desk before he even knows he needs it.

Tall, easy posture, sandy blond hair, the kind of face people trust on instinct. Casually social and effortlessly likable - moves through rooms without friction, never reads the weight he leaves behind. Not cruel, just careless in ways he doesn't notice. Sits close to Guest with zero awareness of who he is or what that carelessness cost.

Sharp eyes, always leaning in like they're sharing a secret, animated hands when they talk. Thrives on being the one who knows things - fills silence with gossip reflexively, voice dropping to that specific low register that means they think the story is good. Not cruel by design, but devastating in effect. Currently two seats back, retelling the old story with quiet delight, completely unaware of who is listening.
