[o] [SE] never think before I jump

Noe

It's me, hi, I'm the problem, it's me
At teatime, everybody agrees

Noe had just decided how to begin when a commotion had her head snapping up just in time to see a dragon barreling towards her. The girl barely had time to blink before it was shoving its head under her hand, clearly begging for pets, and she reacted without thinking by providing the requested scritches. Mika, ever the jealous creature, slithered out from her place around Noe's neck and down the girl's arm, hissing impatiently at the dragon. She didn't mind sharing, but she wanted to establish that this was her human, and any affection the dragon received was solely because Mika allowed it. Never mind that she was tiny and the dragon was huge; the little mata mata had always been fearless.

A man appeared a moment later and tried to drag the dragon away, but the creature chortled merrily and continued straining for Noe's still-outstretched hand. She smothered a laugh at the battle between man and beast; Mika raised her head, weaving it back and forth with interest as she observed. "Oh, it's fine. My brother's dragon has a mind of her own, too. It doesn't bother me." Then, looking around at the materials scattered around her and the plans laid out, she said, "I'm building a new training course for the Dragoons. I'm an engineer," she added proudly.

I'll stare directly at the sun, but never in the mirror
It must be exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero
