[Savage was used to Maul's tension when brought into a sudden affectionate embrace, and so he simply held it knowing that his brother would relax once the whole situation calmed. He even closed his eyes, breathing softly through his nose, but like Maul, he also formed no purr to soothe them both with. That was fine, since he found keeping his brother close was calming enough that no other gesture was particularly needed.]

If anything, Savage thought that he was more upset about that whole incident was than Maul.] It seems like Trench has fully shamed us both to the shadows again, and we always stuck together more closely when that happens.

Dirk won't be coming around anymore. He's chosen a mate.
