All the dragons treat Tairn like he’s a myth come to life, like the gothic grandfather of death and fire. Riders flinch when he lands, other dragons lower their heads, professors literally move aside.
And then they see violet, this tiny, breakable, puny human walk up to him and go “Oh, for fuck's sake, Tairn.” and he just listens????
Violet has done what no other rider has: domesticated the DRAGON OF LEGEND and made him emotionally accountable.
She literally told the equivalent of a fire-breathing nuclear weapon to calm down and he DID.
ANOTHER THEORY BECAUSE MY FEVER IS MAKING ME GO CRAZY,
A few months back I made a crack theory that noe is somehow connected to the vampire of the blue moon. I also had a theory that noe is older than we beleive him to be, since the Archvisite massacre is always said to of taken place- a long time ago, or a number of years ago. Despite the fact if we go by Noes age it would of only been less than 18 years ago.
So here is my theory- screenshot from my Reddit post in which I figured it out because I'm too lazy to rewrite it
If Noe is older than his age, that gap could be explained by him using too much of his power as a child and promptly falling asleep for a long time. As we know Jeanne also slept for quite a few years, and chloe seems to be going through that right now. So it's not impossiable to beleive the massacre was a very long time ago and Noe simply fell asleep after it. Which would explain why the only vampires who seem to know what an archvisite is by appearance alone, are the older vampires- Ruthvan, Chloe and Count Orlock. Because they most likely would of met an Archiviste when the Archivistes were Active.
As Noe says in Chapter 58, he never met another Archvisitw then he wonders if Chloe had and finishes his thought with "Do I want to know?" Yes. Does he want to know? Because it could absolutely topple everything he beleived till that moment

Traditionally there are three phases – Apprentice, Journeyman and Master. Of course, social conditions nowadays are radically different from those of medieval Europe. Apprentices no longer sleep behind the stove in their master’s house or work for years without pay. But these stages provide a road map for anyone who wants to become expert. 1. Apprentice. You start by knowing nothing. You watch and copy others, learning to do things as they are already done in your master’s workshop. Responsibility for your work and any mistakes you make lies with your master, and so does any credit for the work you do. 2. Journeyman. You launch your career as an independent expert. You leave your master’s workshop and move around the country. Now you take responsibility for your own work, and you have to deal with the consequences of error. You continue to gain experience, refining and extending your skills and developing your individuality. 3. Master. Finally you set up a workshop of your own and teach others. You pass on your knowledge and expertise to future generations. You do what you can to look after the individuals who are learning from you; you have a sense of stewardship towards your field more widely; sometimes you even take the field itself in new directions. These three phases are a useful way to think about the acquisition of skill. But they are descriptive, not explanatory. They identify points on a path, but they don’t show you how to reach those points or how to know when you’ve got there. They divide the process into segments and treat these as if they were static. They measure what can be measured. But much that is important can’t be measured. There are changes in who you are, not just what you can do. This process may be invisible from the outside. It’s difficult to quantify, and may even go unnoticed from within.

Some quick background:
The following comic is about two characters: Zori Kell and Tuath Ara. Zori is a Sith apprentice and Tuath is a Jedi padawan. They met sometime before this story takes place on the desert planet Gaia. Zori saved Tuath from an accident that killed her master, and the duo formed an uneasy alliance to survive the unforgiving desert. They spent two Gaia-months trying to find a way offworld and develop feelings for each other. They share a kiss before returning to their respective lives.
They continued to run into each other. Zori is a member of the Sith cult known as the Devout, headed by Darth Arachne, and Tuath, as a senior padawan, is frequently sent against the cult. Before this comic begins, Tuath is captured by the Devout and put to work in their mines as a slave. Zori, who is fiercely protective of Tuath, will not allow this insult to her and stages a breakout. This brings us to the start of the comic
