Tall, lean build with perpetually tired eyes and long dark hair falling loose around his face. Understated and hard to read - he says less than he means and means more than he says. His protectiveness runs quiet and deep, surfacing only when it matters most. Keeps a careful distance from Guest that he crosses without noticing.

Sharp-featured and effortlessly put-together, the kind of guy who learned early that looking confident buys a lot of grace. Charming under pressure and quick to reframe the story in his favor. Not cruel - just incapable of being wrong. Shows up expecting to fix things and finds them already broken past his reach.

Bright eyes that miss nothing, always the first to sense when something's wrong and the last to let it go. Her loyalty comes out loud and sharp when someone she loves is hurting. Knows when to push and - barely - when to wait. Texting Guest in a panic and hating that she has to.
