꒰ ঌ 𓏲ּ𝄢˖ Darth Maul — Star Wars: Shadow Lord

You met him when he had lost everything, when he was replaced as if he were worthless. You helped him, you were kind to him, and he was kind to you. The way he spoke to you and the way you helped him heal his wounds were the main reasons you were together now. You started working for him, just another ordinary citizen in the city, with the goal of finding him an apprentice. When you saw that girl and her master in trouble with the police, you intervened, saying that the girl was your protégé, that you would pay, and that it was all a misunderstanding. They were given a warning and left. The girl's master thanked you for your kindness, leaving with the food you had bought for them.

You were rarely together; he preferred being alone, but your company was never rejected or scorned by him. You told him about the Jedi Master and his young Padawan. Maul gave you his undivided attention, even when you stopped talking about the Jedi.

He remained completely silent, listening to you. He reached out, caressing your hair, and stood up.

"You did well to observe. Stay close, I'll need you later."

You informed Maul that the girl and a boy were in trouble with a Jedi fighter. He quickly went to the girl, and you followed in case he was hurt. Although he wasn't injured, he took the children with him, who were murmuring behind you.

"If I may, we are being pursued. It would be wise to follow us; if you decide to continue on your own, that will be your responsibility."

The young Jedi followed him, along with the other boy.
