"Me? No," Ivana replied, shaking her head when Gwyn shot the question right back at her.

"I am very single. Not even a pet or a plant to care for... I am afraid my job tends to get in the way of anything too serious," she told him matter-of-factly as she watched Gwyn watered his plants with growing interest. Ivana had to admit she was surprised to learn he was a nature dragon. For some reason, she had assumed he was a fire dragon like others in his family

"Not many people enjoy having their romantic dinners interrupted by an emergency call out," she told him.

Gwyn nodded as he listened to her explanation he totally understood it. But some couples made it work, he thought about his brother Titus, and his girlfriend. Both of them had fairly demanding jobs, but they made it work. He finished watering his plants before he finally opted to say anything.

"Well, I guess it takes a special kind of person to understand the requirements of such a highly demanding job. You gotta find someone that's a reliable anchor I guess," he looked thoughtful for a moment, as if considering something, but he ultimately opted against saying anything else.

"Oh, for sure," Ivana agreed with a smile. She was still optimistic that eventually, she might find someone who understood her and her job. Although, she did have to admit that it wasn't easy meeting people when she worked as much as she did.

"I haven't lost hope just yet," she said as she casually walked over to take a quick peek at the fire escape. "Dragons do live a long time, so with some luck, l imagine I'll find that perfect anchor within the next few centuries," she told him jokingly.

"Time is definitely something you have on your side," Gwyn laughed. He still looked like he was considering saying something else. He did understand the difficulties that came with balancing a bust job with socializing. Even with his work, there was a degree to which he found it difficult to socialize in a more casual capacity with others.

"Eh, what's there to lose," he said to himself. "This is strictly off the books, but maybe when we're not busy we could grab lunch or dinner or something sometime."

If Ivana hadn't been hanging onto the fire escape she probably would fell. She had not expected Gwyn Drakenhardt to ask her out. Not in a million years. And not because she was insecure about her looks, or anything like that. It was simply not something she had ever quite considered. The whole family seemed somewhat out of her "humble dragon roots" league.

Standing upright, Ivana turned around and looked at Gwyn for a moment before answering. He was good-looking, no denying that. She had also seen how he handled his customers, and now his business; and all of it spoke of someone with a very good moral fiber.

"Sure, I'd like that," she finally said. "I work the afternoon-evening shift all this week," she told him, not sure if that was a problem or not.

"Well the nice thing about being your own boss is you can just move things around as needed," he grinned. Mornings would be a bit easier to schedule things since he had less to do then. He moved over to Ivana's side. Gwyn was pretty sure he'd caught her off guard which almost caused a tumble off the roof. She was a firefighter, and a bit taller than him. But these were all fine. He was a dragon built more for flight than brute force after all.

"Though I probably shouldn't have asked while you weren't near the edge of the roof. Guess the fire escape is in good order though."

Taking a small step back from the fire escape at the same time as Gwyn moved closer to her, Ivana almost bumped into him. Clearly flustered at how clumsy she must seem, she murmured an apology to Gwyn, and waved away his apology.

"As a firefighter, we are trained to expect the unexpected. Though I clearly must have skipped the chapter on, "the dangers of fire escape propositions," she joked, trying to not make too much of a big deal of anything. Even if she had fallen, it was unlikely she would have been hurt too badly since she could have transformed (or partially transformed) into a dragon if she needed to. Heaven knows it wasn't the first time she had had to change midair because of something unexpected - like suddenly falling through the floorboards of a burning building or having to catch somebody who had panicked and jumped out of a burning window.
