You looked up and blinked.
It took a while to process what you were looking at, The nurse had the hear of a Siberian Husky, with a black snout, icy blue eyes, and pointy ears. Her body, however, was sleek and black like a seal's and had the needle-like dorsal fin of a lionfish on her back, and from the looks of it, it was retractable. She had stubby legs that were half flipper and half foot, and nimble-looking, human-like hands with sharp claws.
It took you a few seconds to realize what she was: a Telekhine.
From what you heard about them, they were mysterious smiths and sea demons native to the islands of Keos and Rhodes in Greece. They were said to have invented the art of metal-working and were also powerful magic-users. You guess that was why Desdemona had hired her.
"Ah...perfect timing. I see you're named Thalia." the Gargoyle said to the aquatic dog monster, looking at her then at an application form.
"Yep! Thalia, Thalia Ironsea." she said, grinning as she nodded. Iron sea? You shrugged. Must be a Telekhine surname. You don't know that many aquatic monsters, so you can't tell.
"So, you think you can deal with some of the patents here? You seem pretty confidant. Care explaining why that is?" your doctor asked the new nurse, to which the dog-seal monster smirks and holds up a flipper-like hand and it starts to glow, before a blissful look came over Desdemona's face and she seemed to become ditsy, as if she were drunk off distilled happiness.
It lasted a few seconds before it stopped and Desdemona blinked, looking confused, before glaring lightly at the new employee.
"You asked, that's my answer. Healing and mind-manipulation magic, not to mention I can forge things they can't break out of, so if they need restraint, I can handle it." she said with a shrug.
Desdemona laughed. "Good! Now, since you're new, I'll have Rick here serve as your supervisor for a few days until you get into the hang of things."
Thaila grinned. "You're the boss! Where's Rick?"
Taking that as a cue, you clear your throat and she looked down, spotting you instantly. "A human?" Thalia said, her eyes gaining a spark you didn't like all that much. It was like she was looking at something she had wanted among the gifts under a Christmas tree.
"Uh...yeah. Nice to meet you." you said, feeling nervous. In an instant, you were swept up, and slammed against something slick and furry, winding you.
You were now facing her cleavage and she was squeezing you so hard you though your eyes would shoot out of your head.
Desdemona laughed again "Human-lover type, eh? Well, then this'll be interesting for BOTH of you!"
You fight down a groan. This was bad. While they didn't kill humans, human-loving monsters could be rather obsessive and dangerously playful.
"Ok, you two, keep things professional, you are on in a doctor's office here." the pink-skinned gargoyle said, getting Thalia's attention. The Telekhine blushed, straightened up, and set you on her shoulder. "Uh...sorry boss, please don't fire me." she said.
Desdemona shakes her head, "I'll overlook it just this once, but if you're gonna act like that and I hire you, do it on your own time."
The newbie nodded. and you sighed, relieved to hear that. As long as she was at work, Thalia would have to leave you alone.
"Right, boss!" Thilia chirped, then looked at you, "Shall we start with the tour of the workplace and my duties?"
