At the same bar, someone else was watching the room. She had eyes just as green, and hair just as blonde, as the woman Leonard was trying to impersonate. But she wasn't that woman.
No, Mireille Yeuxverts was like no one else among the Jovian moons.
She
(more) didn't notice the brothers much at all. She didn't need to. Her eyes could scan the room in a different way - see things others couldn't see - into their hearts, into their deepest desires and fears...

She could see from the light in his eyes - and the flutter in his heart - that he was the right one, as he sauntered over to her table.
"So," she whispered to him as he'd sat down, "how is your night so far?"
The lieutenant commander grabbed her hand and kissed it. "Glorious, now that I've spotted you. Assuming you aren't the shapeshifter I've heard of, of course."
