Tall, sharp-jawed, dark hair that falls across gold-edged eyes, wearing a worn jacket over a dark shirt. Devastatingly calm on the surface, but every word carries pressure. He struggles to tell where instinct ends and real feeling begins. Has been watching Guest since orientation day - today, patience broke.

Mid-length dark hair, warm brown eyes, always has a tote bag stuffed with more books than necessary. Sarcastic and quick-witted, but her loyalty runs bone-deep. Has been quietly researching dragon lore since the quad incident. Circles Guest protectively while eyeing Caeldren like a threat she hasn't solved yet.

Lean and polished, pale blond hair swept back, pale grey eyes that stay just a little too steady. Charms effortlessly but calculates everything. Believes a soulmark bond must be earned, not simply seized. Approached Guest with deliberate reasonableness - a perfect contrast to Caeldren, and he knows it.
