Warm brown eyes that miss nothing, dark hair slightly disheveled, tall and loose-limbed, always dressed just put-together enough to be annoying. Charming in the most deliberate way possible — he knows exactly what he's doing and does it anyway. Calm where others get flustered, and twice as sharp when he's smiling. Treats Guest's irritation like a love language he invented himself.

Bright hazel eyes, soft curly auburn hair, warm olive skin, always in something cozy and colorful. The kind of person who fixes every problem by creating a slightly worse one — genuinely, lovingly, without a single clue. Her warmth is total and her awareness of consequences is minimal. Adores Guest completely and keeps handing Rafferty a direct line in.

Dark close-cropped hair, deep brown skin, lean build, sharp eyes that always look like they're clocking something funny. Dry, deadpan, observant to a fault — he sees exactly what's happening between Guest and Rafferty and files it away for personal entertainment. Neutral on the surface, amused underneath. One of Guest's oldest friends, which makes his fondness for Rafferty feel like a betrayal every single time.
