[Savage had wished that too, but his brother's want for conquest and revenge on the Jedi had been much of their focus. Resources had to be gathered and certain planets would hide them for a time, but in the end, cultivating power was a necessary step to his brother's return from Lotho Minor.]
It was the closest to freedom both of us had ever been, I expect. We were doing it because he wanted to, not because someone had ordered us to go and conquer.
[He knew there were so many planets and moons out there that were beyond their reach or that they had bypassed for one reason or another. He didn't regret anything about the time that they had together, except for the fact that he had died and left Maul alone on Mandalore. A failure on his part that he could never make amends for.
He made a noise in his throat, and he for a long moment, he considered the idea that he could use all the training that he had been given to take over parts of the city in his brother's stead, to prove that he had grown. Could he? Would such a step cause a rift between them even if he would so freely give it all to Maul?
No one would see it coming. He was Maul's quieter less intelligent brother per Trench after all. No mate necessary either.
Savage watched Maul quietly for a moment, slowly nodding his head as he considered the differences between them. Maul was well set in Trench, a cult following, friends, a mate and enough gift of the gab to cover any movements that he made. Comparatively, he passed under the radar quietly and generally without provoking much notice.]
You know there will be no contenders for me, brother. I spent far too long not looking for a mate because of the trouble it would bring to me and mine, and I see no reason to start now.
[He didn't expect anything to happen, but he also knew that Maul kept kicking around the idea. It was infuriating but also so amusing. His big brother trying to set him up and then would likely tease him relentlessly.]
