Enkel had just dressed in the morning when he heard a knock on his door and heard Moni asking if he was awake.
'Yeah, come in.' he said. 'I was just getting ready.'
She walked in and he felt his heart skip a beat, seeing the green short dress hugging her curves tightly.
'Something wrong?' she asked, seeing him stare.
He smiled softly. 'On the contrary, that colour matches your eyes perfectly.'
She smiled deviously. 'They can't do sarcasm, but flirting is no problem.'
He chuckled. 'We just tell the truth.'
'Even though I'm a demon?'
'Looking good is looking good, whoever you are.'
She grinned. 'Hurry up then. Don't make a good looking lady wait.' she said and fixed the collar of his shirt before walking out the door and letting herself blush for a while before he could see it.

'So, what are you thinking?' Moni asked as they strolled down the main shopping street from the neighbourhood.
'Thinking?' he asked, afraid she might guess what he thought after seeing other guys stare at her.
'The job?'
'Oh, yes.' he said. 'I don't know yet. I thought we'd just see what's out there before deciding.'
'Okay by me.' she said, and they checked out the couple of agencies and bulletin boards during the morning before sitting down for a drink at a small café.
They were a bit surprised at the waitress who came out. She was a wolf demon in a frilly black and white strapless dress.
She saw the looks on their faces. 'Don't ask.' she said. 'What can I get you?'
'Tea for us, please.' said Enkel. 'Do you want something with it?' he asked Moni.
'This blood cake.' she said, pointing at the menu.
'Then, two blood cakes as well.' he said to the waitress.'
'Thank you, I'll be back soon.' the waitress said and went back inside.
Moni sighed. 'I'm not really suited to serve fast-food in the evening.'
'Nor stack shelves at a supermarket.' Enkel said. 'But we have to start somewhere.'
They stared at the street and the people going by until the waitress came back with their orders and Enkel lifted his cup of tea. 'To finding a suitable job.'
Moni clinked his cup with hers. 'To finding something that won't bore us to death.'
He chuckled and sipped his tea. 'I heard demons get bored easily.'
She looked at him, licked her lips and grinned slightly. 'Depends on who's around.'
He cleared his throat. 'So, do you like blood cake?' he asked, taking a bite of the cake with cherry layers.
'Yeah.' she said, swiping her fingertip along the cherry layer and licking it slowly. 'I love cherries.'
He blushed, looked at his cake and took another bite. 'Happy to hear that.'
When they had finished their cake and tea, Enkel leaned back and sighed. 'Well, looks like we'll have to look further to find the right job.'
'You're looking for a job?'
Enkel looked at the man sitting next to him and was surprised he hadn't noticed him before. He looked sharp in his dark blue suit and sunglasses.
'We are, yes?'
'How would you feel about working afternoon to evening, serving small meals and drinks to customers enjoying a musical environment?'
'Does it pay well?' Moni asked, leaning forward.
'We're rather popular, so we can pay decent wages.' the man said, taking out two business cards and handing them to Enkel. 'We can use fresh faces anytime, so come by if you're interested.'
They watched him as he left, leaving a big tip behind.
'I've got a feeling he's a demon.' Enkel said.
'But it's lucky we met him.' Moni said, thinking her father had something to do with it.
He looked at her and she nodded. 'Well, we can always have a look.'

'Dragon's Tongue.' Moni said, checking the card. 'This is it.'
She and Enkel looked at the small sign next to a black door with a red dragon figure on it.
Enkel looked up and down the alley. 'Not much choice here. It's the only door.' he said. 'Do you still want to check it out?'
'Let's have a sense of adventure.' she said, then leaned against him, batting her eyelashes. 'And I expect an angel wouldn't let an innocent girl get into trouble.'
'And then they wonder why angels dislike demons so much.' he said, looking up with a sigh.
She snickered and knocked on the door. Two seconds later the door opened and a big bull gestured for them to come in.
'Somehow I had expected a secret knock and a question for a password.' Moni said as they went inside a small hall.
The bull gestured at the camera views of outside the door and both ends of the alley.
'Ah, of course.' she said.
'We got this card.' Enkel said, holding it up. 'He was talking about a possible job opening.'
The bull nodded, opened the inner doors and a flood of bass heavy music came through. Moni looked excited at Enkel and snapped her fingers as she moved inside on the beat of the music. He smiled at the sensual movements of her body and tail and followed her in.
Inside they saw rows of circular areas with people, separated for privacy by plants. At the left and right were bars where the men and women serving each area ordered drinks and food for the guests.
'What's this?' Enkel asked.
'A place to relax and enjoy some company.' the bull said.
'Yeah, thanks.' Enkel said as the bull closed the door.
'Come.' Moni said and took his hand, taking him down the centre row.
She received several cat calls, inviting her to dump the guy and join the men calling out to her. She just smiled and winked at them and went for the bar at the right.
'Hey.' she said to the orc bartender. 'We were invited to a job interview here by,' she said and read the card again. 'Lex Lextor.'
The orc nodded and pushed a button between the rows of bottles behind him, then poured them a cocktail.
Moni took hers and turned to Enkel. 'Looks like this could be very interesting.'
'Indeed.' he said, noticing the glances toward her.
A moment later the man they met at the cafe came up to the bar. 'Hello there.' he said showing his business smile. 'So you've come to take a look at adventure.'
'Is that what it's called?' asked Moni, watching a couple of demon girls walk by, their bat wings seemingly the only thing covering their bodies.
'It looks naughtier than it actually is.' Lex whispered, leaning closer. 'Our guests like to have a little thrill of being close to deadly demons or just feel for a little while like one of us. It's all about role-playing.' He straightened up. 'So, I asked you because our previous feline demon is starting her final year in school now and has less time to work here. I wouldn't let her work a lot here if she needs the time to study.' Lex said, then turned to Enkel. 'As for angels, none have been willing to associate with us for some reason.'
