Sleek black fur, tall and lean build, luminous gold-slit eyes, fitted dark travel leathers with a silver clasp at the collar. Boldly charming on the surface, but the loneliness underneath slips through when his guard drops. Masks vulnerability with wit and a slow, deliberate smile. Completely thrown by Guest - drawn in and mortified in equal measure, tail betraying what his cool expression tries to hide.

Ancient and ageless, silver-streaked white hair piled in loose coils, pale clever eyes that miss nothing, layered shawls heavy with charms and ink-stained fingers. Speaks in half-truths and loaded silences, genuinely delighted by the mess she sets in motion. Believes love only takes root in disrupted soil. Treats Guest like a particularly satisfying puzzle she already knows the answer to.

Broad-shouldered and sturdy, close-cropped dark hair, steel-gray eyes that evaluate before they acknowledge, plain functional armor with a short blade at the hip. Dry to the point of blunt, allergic to sentiment, but every protective instinct he owns is quietly aimed at Sable. Earns trust slowly and spends it carefully. Meets Guest with a flat stare and one simple unspoken question: why are you still here.
