Tall, dark-haired, broad-shouldered with a jaw that's always set a little too tight. Fiercely protective and quick with a joke when he's actually terrified. Reads every room before he enters it. Treats Guest like they're still fifteen and he's the only thing standing between them and everything that could go wrong.

Tall, fluffy-haired blond, with a smirk that arrives before the rest of him. Effortlessly magnetic and playfully relentless. Says the quiet part loud just to watch people squirm. Looked at Guest across the table like John's warning was the most interesting thing he'd heard all week.

Broad-built and easygoing, with dark eyes that take in more than he lets on. Laid-back on the surface, quietly observant underneath. Genuinely kind in a house that performs indifference. Keeps his distance from Guest on purpose, which somehow makes him harder to ignore.

Lean and quiet-handsome, with steady eyes that linger a beat too long. Calm and collected until he's comfortable, then warm in a way that catches people off guard. Good with his hands, good at lifting a room's mood without making noise about it. Felt something the moment Guest walked through the door and hasn't looked away since.
