It was better than being stuck on Dathomir. We saw many places together, though I suppose Mandalore wasn't the worst place we stayed. Even their prison was nice.
[For him, traveling with Maul had been as close to tasting freedom as he had had ever had, even if he had been following orders and the whims of his brother anyway. The long stretches they were in hyperspace, he had invested much of his time getting to know Maul as a brother. After all, Maul was a prickly Nightbrother who lacked education on how Nightbrothers operated together, but it didn't matter to him. Maul was his brother and nosing his way into Maul's closed off heart was something he had wanted to do, even if there were established lines in the sand he wasn't to cross. Savage often toed those lines when Maul had no choice but to put up with him.
And those efforts back then served him well here in Trench where he and Maul operated as well together but could be apart for long stretches of time as well without questioning one another's loyalty. He didn't act out like Maul did, so his experience in Trench was far more mild; people were generally just scared of his size.]
You know I will. Your endeavors, whatever they are, happen to be very important.
[He'd usually support Maul in everything, even if he might not agree with each plan and how it came about. He was, after all, still Maul's brother and they did have their disagreements which quick hot-tempered affairs that fizzled just as quickly. His loyalty did remain absolute.]
I have my training and... learning to read and write. [But those were very individual activities sometimes. Of course, his expression flattened as he saw that expression on Maul's face. He knew where this was going instantly.] I don't need you to find me a mate, brother. A mate has to choose me and nearly kill me to force my loyalty. [Classic Nightkin courtship.]
