Club Orpheus - Ivana had been to the bar quite a few times to unwind after work and listen to some live music. However, she had never done a fire code inspection on the place, one of her lieutenants had.

She could tell though, by the paperwork, that during the last one everything appeared to be up to spec. The exit doors, emergency lights, fire extinguishers... everything seemed to have been in order. There was only a small mention of more aisle space between tables, and from what she could tell - at least from her personal visits - that had been dealt with.

"Would Mr. Drakenhardt be around by chance?" Ivana asked the bartender. "I am here with the Manta Carlos Fire Department," she explained, just in case her uniform wasn't enough. She had had people ask her before if she was with the police force, which often made her shake her head. The uniforms were similar, but not that similar.

Fire code inspection time. Gwyn was already well aware that they'd probably be dropping by if not today, then sometime this week. As it turned out, it was happening today. He was sure it wouldn't take too long considering how meticulously he kept things. Only the best for Orpheus. The health inspector had already been through the other week, and passed the club with flying colors.

He was in the middle of updating his inventory orders when he was told that the fire department was there. He was looking well dressed, but not in the full outfits that he'd usually wear on stage. It was the middle of the day, after all. Except for deliveries and other daily business the club was closed.

"Well you're definitely not looking for a job application, so I guess you're the inspector yeah?" he said as he stepped closer to the other dragon.

Ivana had been unconsciously checking out the club as she stood there waiting. Force of habit, but also it was strange to see the club during the day when there were fewer people around.

"I don't know, are you hiring, Mr. Drakenhardt?" Ivana remarked good-naturally when the owner finally appeared moments later, his red hair unmistakable. Even if she hadn't been to the club before, Ivana would have guessed that the flame-haired dragon before her was Gwyn Drakenhardt, or one of the male members of the clan.

"Ivana Valdur with the MCI Fire Department," she said introducing herself, confirming who she was. "And yes, I will be inspecting the premises. I am assuming you were informed then that I generally require a person in charge to show me around and into the back, storage area, and or rooftop area?" she asked politely.

"Eh even if you didn't need a guide you'd get one anyway. Lucky for you, I'm the best person for it. So I guess we'll start inside if that's fine with you, then head to the roof," Gwyn smiled and gestured for her to follow him. She was a dragon, but not one he was familiar with. Curious as he was he was keeping in mind that this was a professional visit. He'd save his questions for if they happened to run into each other again under more relaxed circumstances.

"So this place has a pretty good bit of back, as you can imagine. Between backstage, and the kitchen but everything's connected so we can just work through it. Gwyn had taken her through one of the employee only doors to the area that would more or less be considered backstage. The area where musicians could prep and such before heading out to perform. Gwyn had taken great measures to make sure things were clearly marked in case of an emergency. "I guess this is the part where you do your thing..."

"Of course," Ivana said with a friendly smile at Gwyn's comment about a guide. "And thank you for taking the time to show me around personally. I know you are probably quite busy," she said as she followed him into the back. She was very used to clients being protective of their property, and not wanting her or her men to go traipsing unaccompanied through their homes and businesses.

"This is quite impressive, Mr. Drakenhardt," she told Gwyn truthfully as she walked through the back room with him, immediately spotting the emergency lights near and over the exists and how they were clearly marked.

"I see you have taken care to make sure the doorways are properly lit and marked." She observed, marking off that section and making a small note in the margin. "I usually need to point out that slapping an "Exit" sign over the door is not enough, especially if it's dark and people can't see the sign."

"Well, I don't know if you've been here during business hours, but this place does tend to fill up. Gotta have things marked just in case something does happen. I'm not sure if anyone's told you about my business practices, but I really hate cutting corners. So I don't," Gwyn looked around, making sure things were in good order in this section. He moved a broom that had strayed away from the others back to its spot with a few others.

The storage area was next on the list. Once again Gwyn kept things notably organized, and clean. He was pretty meticulous about how things were kept. He once again stepped back to let Ivana do her thing.

Ivana looked straight at Gwyn when he mentioned visiting during business hours. She hadn't wanted to say anything before, just in case it affected the inspection. However, she now had a pretty good feel for Gwyn and his business practices, and doubted that anything she (or he) said would affect the outcome of the inspection.

"Actually, and now that you mention it... I do come here, and quite often as well," she confessed as she checked the door latches.

"I just happen to be a huge fan of live music, and quite honestly, the Orpheus brings in groups I like," she told him, not bothering to mention that he probably didn't recognise her cause she often came in late, usually after her shift, and that her usual, everyday attire generally consisted of a leather bikers jacket, t-shirts and faded or ripped jeans.

"Huh, I had no idea. I'll have to keep an eye out for you then. I guess you wouldn't be in your fire brigade uniform though, would you?" he grinned. He was glad to know she was at least familiar with Orpheus in the way it was meant to be known. They had music tastes in common, and they were both dragons. This could be the start of a decent friendship. "Live shows are the best kinds of shows. I may not be able to put on a Lilac Festival, but I can give people a place to relax and enjoy themselves."

Gwyn figured she'd want to check out the fire escapes before he took her up to the roof. The roof itself actually had a nice small garden set up and maintained by Gwyn himself. The inside of the club featured plants in the decor of course, but the roof was where Gwyn set up one of his personal gardens. When they got up there Gwyn went about checking on them, then checked the clock on his phone. "Time to feed the kids," he said as he grabbed a watering can located off to the side of one of the plant beds.

Ivana laughed."No, 'fraid not. Sorry to disappoint. But no uniform after hours. I love my job, but not that much," she said with a grin. She did know people that did stuff like that, wear their uniform out to impress others, but she was definitely not one of them.

"Your children? You are married then?" Ivana asked, not bothering to hide her curiosity as she followed him to the rooftop. She had heard various rumours about Gwyn Drakenhardt. Some said he was a lady's man, others he swung both ways, others he was pining away for some woman... But like all rumours they were just speculation, based on his family and the fact that he was an enigma of sorts compared to other members of the dragon clan.

Gwyn stopped dead, and looked at Ivana. Oh god were there rumors about well... the older Drakenhardts in general. There were plenty of them so it was simple enough for things to get mixed up. Was he married with kids? Absolutely not.

"No, I haven't even dated in decades. My children are my plants, kinda comes with the territory of being a nature dragon," he went ahead and started watering the plants that had been growing in the rooftop garden.

"Are you married Miss Valdur?" he asked, turning the question back on her.
