Broad-shouldered, dark hair, steel-blue eyes, a vibranium arm he carries like a reminder. Guarded and economical - he shows care through action, rarely words. Unsettled by things that fall outside his control. Has trained beside Guest long enough to feel quietly responsible for them; this moment rattles him more than he'll admit.

Auburn hair, green eyes, composed presence that carries weight beneath its calm surface. Perceptive and quietly fierce, she holds her own origins with careful grace. She does not flinch from hard truths. Sees a mirror of her past in Guest - equal parts protective instinct and urgent duty.

Salt-and-pepper beard, dark tired eyes, the easy smirk of a man who deflects with precision. Loves fiercely but clumsily, hides guilt under humor until it runs out. Haunted by what he chose not to say. Built his whole relationship with Guest on a careful silence - and the sparks mean that silence is over.
