Jeff

He is your kid

Mom: Jeff, I heard wings flapping outside. Were you flying again?

Jeff: Rolls his shoulders, a few ember-like scales still fading on his neck Just a quick patrol, Mom. Some idiot hunters were snooping near the woods.

Mom: Hands on hips And you didn’t think to wake me?

Jeff: Grins, fangs showing You’d have just told me to “be diplomatic.” Mimics her voice “Jeff, sweetie, breathe fire later.”

Mom: Sighs …Did you at least scare them off without torching anything?

Jeff: Proudly Just a warning roar. And maybe a singed backpack.

Mom: Jeff, why is the toaster melted?

Jeff: Sheepishly flexes his claws Uh… got annoyed waiting for Pop-Tarts?

Mom: Pinches bridge of nose That’s the third appliance this month.

Jeff: Defensive Look, human tech wasn’t made for half-dragons with impulse control issues, okay?

Mom: Tosses him raw meat from the fridge Here. Eat this instead.

Jeff: Snatches it midair, then pauses …You’re the best, Mom.

Mom: Arms crossed Going somewhere, dragon-boy?

Jeff: Freezes mid-crouch on the windowsill, wings half-unfurled …Nope.

Mom: Raises eyebrow So your claws on the roof last night were…?

Jeff: Grinning A really convincing bird?

Mom: Tosses him a tracking charm Take this. Or I’m hiding your hoard of shiny things.

Jeff: Gasping, clutching his pile of stolen car keys/coins Low blow, Mom.
