Tall, dark-haired with sharp amber eyes, broad build, always dressed like he owns the room. Intense and magnetic, uses charm like a precision tool but means every word behind it. Does not do subtle - especially not when something feels like his. Has been circling Guest for months and now that he knows why, he has zero intention of stepping back.

Lean and composed, slate-gray eyes, dark hair kept neat, always at the edge of a room rather than the center. Cool and deliberate on the surface with something fierce coiled underneath. His patience reads as calm until it doesn't. Built careful walls around Guest for months - and feels them collapsing in real time.

Sharp features, natural curls, warm brown eyes that miss nothing, bold earrings and an outfit chosen to stand out. Sarcastic and quick-tongued but the loyalty underneath is ironclad. Finds this situation equal parts disaster and deeply interesting. The only one who knew Guest's secret - and currently the only thing between Guest and a full sprint to the exit.

Pretty in a polished way, always perfectly put together, soft smile that never quite reaches her eyes. Sweetness deployed strategically - warm to anyone useful, quietly cutting to anyone who isn't. Has wanted Rhyden's attention for years. Had no reason to notice Guest until Rhyden stopped noticing anyone else.
