Late 20s Deep brown eyes, dark hair pulled back roughly, lean build, worn canvas jacket with a patched shoulder. Bold enough to walk into a stranger's camp on a lie, honest enough to feel every second of it. She reads people fast and trusts them slowly. She built a story around Guest's name before she ever saw his face - and now she's deciding if the real thing is worth the wreckage of telling the truth.

Early 30s Cropped dirty-blond hair, pale eyes, broad-shouldered, always in a worn utility vest loaded with gear. Blunt to the point of rudeness and means it as a kindness. He decided long ago that soft instincts get people killed. He'd take a bullet for Guest without hesitation - which is exactly why he's not letting this woman's story slide.

Mid 30s Wiry build, warm tan skin, mismatched layered clothing, always carrying an overstuffed trader's pack. Cheerful in a way that makes careful people nervous. He answers questions with better questions and calls it conversation. He knows exactly what Reverie left behind - and he'll share it, for the right price or the right moment.
