[In his short time here, Harry's seen a few flying Pokémon. Birds, mostly, or so he tells himself. The truth is, some of the silhouettes he'd spotted overhead just didn't match anything in his knowledge base, and looked—for lack of a less whimsical word—mythical. Too big to be any bird he's ever seen before (and he's seen lots, okay), wings not nearly feathery enough. Or feathery at all.
And yet, the word dragon never once crossed his mind. So when the sound of not-so-distant wingbeats flutters in on the breeze and he looks west, he's hardly expecting to see a dragon.
But no.
That's a dragon, all right. His childhood was filled with enough of that stuff for him to know a dragon when he sees one. And that sure as hell is a woman on its back. A woman. Riding a dragon.
Harry doesn't even have to wonder whether or not that's Carmen. He just knows. Like part of him expected it, almost. Leave it to Cooper.
This entire situation flips from frightening to hilarious in a matter of seconds due to its sheer absurdity, and Carmen might catch a glimpse of Harry cracking up as she swings back around to try the landing again. By the time her feet hit the ground, the giggles have mostly made their way out of his system.
Mostly.
He doesn't look shocked or scared or even all that bowled over, but he does look happy.]

You must be Carmen.
