[mindtricker]

[ from here ]


All the more reason I don't need it from you if I should want to be your companion.

[survivalthroughhate]

Ah. So you admit you DO want to be my companion. I see how it is.

[Maul, you are completely incorrigible.]

[mindtricker]

[ Can you feel his eye-rolling through the Force, Maul? You should. ]

If you don't plan on murdering me, I MIGHT want to be your companion. Perhaps. It's very dependent on that.

[survivalthroughhate]

[He lives to exasperate Obi-Wan in whatever ways he can.]

It’s not so much that I wish to see you dead. What I want is to see you put through as much misery and pain as you did to me.

[mindtricker]

[ He's starting to understand that very deeply. ]

So, I'll take that as a "yes, you do want to murder me".

[ Which is the lightest way he can put that considering everything involved in their past interactions. ]

[survivalthroughhate]

Murder is such a strong word. If I kill you, who else would I have to give me focus in life?

[Sometimes, Maul is afraid of facing the fact that Obi-Wan is really all he has left. If he really did kill him, he'd have no purpose anymore.]

[mindtricker]

You can't have it both ways, Maul.

Either you want a companion or you will remain alone. I'm not going to be your punching bag for the rest of our lives.

But I can be your friend.

[survivalthroughhate]

What makes you think I need a friend that badly?

[Besides the fact he's the most miserable person in the galaxy, that is.]

[mindtricker]

[ There's another moments pause, Obi-Wan wondering if he should even bother mentioning it... ]

You hide the pain well but not that well.

[survivalthroughhate]

[Jeez, Obi-Wan, why do you have to call him out like that?]

If I am in pain, you can only look in a mirror for one of the culprits. You caused a great deal of it.

[Not all of it, given Sidious had done his own brand of damage, but his former master isn't as easy a target as the Jedi is.]

[mindtricker]

[ Because it's what he does! ]

And you caused much of mine.

[survivalthroughhate]

[Touche, Jedi.]

Only so that I could even the score.

[Like this is some sort of twisted game that they are playing.]

[mindtricker]

So if it is "even", what is there still to hold against me?

[survivalthroughhate]

You're a Jedi. I'm a Sith. Or was. We're destined to be natural enemies.

[mindtricker]

If you "were" a Sith, that means you aren't anymore, doesn't it?

[ Don't get him started, Maul. He drove his padawan crazy with this kind of shit. ]

[survivalthroughhate]

I was raised from the time I was a child to follow the ways of the Sith, the same way the Jedi indoctrinate their acolytes. Even after all this time, the ghosts of the past cling. Do you think you could ever truly stop being a Jedi even if you turned your back on your order?
