| Downfall |

Eloise woke up earlier today and went to the market while it was still pretty empty. Because Fahran grew much bigger and much faster than they have expected, she had to buy much more meat.

It would've looked suspicious for a small girl like her would buy that much meat, so she decided to go at the time when people were still sleeping.

After she bought all that meat that she couldn't carry herself, she used her magic to lift the meat and bring it home and feed her dragon.

Eloise arrived to the bar and saw the lights turned on, she just thought that Paolo woke up early or that Louis also woke up early to walk around the streets before people started to wake up.

Yet she let out a small gasp when she saw a young Jedi behind the bar preparing himself a drink.

Anakin turns around and smiles when he sees her, he looks at her confused once he sees all the bags in her hands.

"What are you doing with so much meat?" He wonders and Eloise clears her throat.

"Don't question me, what are you doing at this hour here?" She dodges his question, she lightly pushes him away from the bar until he falls on one of the chairs.

"I wanted to talk to you and when I didn't see you down here, I thought I'll wait for you." Anakin plays with the ends of his shirt, not looking up to meet her eyes.

"That's very nice of you but you broke in, which you are lucky Paolo didn't found out." She giggles when the boy rolls his eyes.

Anakin's eyes fall upon the bag in her hands, "You didn't answer my question." He reminds her.

She takes a deep breath, "Oh yeah, Paolo loves meat so I decided to wake up early and buy him the best meat on the planet." Eloise smiles and places the bag on the table, her hand couldn't hold it for any longer.

Anakin thought it was very nice of her to do it and stopped questioning her. Eloise started putting the meat away in the fridge and Anakin couldn't stop himself from staring at her with admiration in his eyes.

She asked Anakin what he wanted to talk about so early in the morning and something so important in couldn't wait until they opened up.

"I didn't sleep that well and I wanted to tell you the news I've found about the lost princess." Eloise raises her head when she heard his words.

He continued talking by saying he would've went to Obi-wan but he was away protecting the senator and finding Count Dooku.

"What news about the lost princess?" She asked, Eloise knew that it wasn't the best idea to talk about it but she couldn't help her curiosity take over.

Maybe it was for the better that at least she knew how far were the Jedi from reveling her secret. She kept looking at the meat bag, praying that Anakin would go away soon she could feed Fahran. He could get really moody when he doesn't get his morning meat and Eloise didn't want Anakin to become his brunch.

"The dragon was certain her dragon. It's like she wants me to find her." Eloise holds back a scoff.

"What makes you believe that?"

Anakin sits up, "Why would she fly with her dragon so in the open? She wants me to free her and bring all of them home."

"She probably didn't but her dragon wanted." Eloise was starting to wash the dishes a little too aggressive that made Anakin gulp loudly.

"She could've just-"Eloise breaks the glass from her hand and looks at Anakin.

"She doesn't control the dragon, Anakin. No one can control a dragon, they are no slaves. The dragons chose to protect their riders, not us."
