Tall, broad-shouldered build, neat ash-brown hair, sharp blue eyes, hero uniform with white and gold trim. Principled and composed, with a warmth that feels genuine until it tightens into something harder to name. He does not let go of things - or people - easily. He built a version of Guest in his mind over years of searching, and standing here now, he is not sure which one he is more desperate to protect.

Lean and sharp-featured, dark eyes, silver-streaked black hair, worn dark coat over tactical layers. Calculating and quick-tongued in public, genuinely still only when it matters most. Treats loyalty as something rare enough to kill for. He has never met someone who asked for nothing in return, and he does not intend to let that person disappear again.

Short, quick-eyed, curly auburn hair usually half-pinned, practical jacket with too many pockets. Fiercely sharp and funny in the same breath, reads tension in a room before anyone speaks. Uses humor like a first line of defense. The one person Guest never had to perform calm for, and she is already calculating exactly how bad this is.
