Tall, broad-shouldered build, dark brown skin, dark close-cut hair, steady dark eyes, fitted dress shirt with sleeves rolled to the elbows. Composed on the surface but carries a deep, slow-burning intensity that rarely breaks the surface. Honest in a way that sometimes cuts. Has watched Guest from a careful distance for years - tonight, that distance is gone.

Sharp features, well-dressed, the kind of handsome that photographs well but feels hollow up close. Charming in rooms full of people, emotionally absent everywhere else. Dismissive without realizing it - or maybe not caring. Married to Guest but stopped truly seeing her a long time ago.
