Aggressive entrance

The morning goes smoothly, the whole group having gotten into a routine at this point. Even with the usual teasing and flirting, they get all their testing done before the arrival of the interview. Mike and Damon sit down to wait, after Damon sets up some monitoring equipment.

He looks at Mike as they sit. “I have a theory regarding the effects of being close to you. Thus far, we’ve seen increased sexual interest, or a general improvement of opinion towards you. However, I think it may be more complex than that.”

Mike looks at Damon curiously. “What do you mean?”

Damon gestures towards the monitor he brought in. “I want to study both of your reactions during this interview, but please, I want you to think of them as not hostile, but misguided. A potential friend rather than a certain enemy.”

Mike nods. “I think I can do that.”

Damon nods back. “Good. I think it will be easier this time, due to the nature of the interviewer, as well.”

Mike chuckles. “Ok, now what does THAT mean?”

Damon shakes his head. “You’ll see when she arrives.”

Mike blinks in surprise. “She? The interviewer is a woman?”

Before Damon can answer, the door swings open. A tall, statuesque Dunori woman sweeps into the room, and Mike finds himself staring as she approaches the table.

She appears older than the other women Mike has met, his guess in human years would be mid thirties. Her dress is provocatively cut, revealing her impressive cleavage and a glimpse of her pale blue midriff. Thick grey horns curl out of her long black hair, which frames the scowl upon her face as she stares at Mike.

Seating herself across from him, she shakes her head disdainfully. “Keep your lecherous eyes off my body, boy. I am Delilah, and I am not one of your playthings.”
