Also always up for backdating anything specific done during events or plots that we weren't able to get to e.g. memshares, shapeshifting into other forms, etc. Just let me know what you'd like to do!

Wouldn't you miss killing Jedi and undermining aspects of the Clone Wars and consolidating power within the crime syndicates? You were in your element, brother.

[It would have been nice to dip off a little more often to train on different planets or to see some of the moons that they had passed by or hidden their ship on to avoid detection. He might have regretted dying as he had, but he didn't regret the adventures that he and Maul underwent.

Perhaps they could have concentrated more on his training to build him up, but there had been so much to do. They had regrets, but now was the kind of opportunity where they could thrive. Already his brother was far more settled here than ever before in their galaxy, and he would never take that away from Maul.

He snorted from his nose like a bull.]

If I were ever to become weak and scrawny again, I'd expect you to feed me to some beast. I simply don't make relationships as easy as you do, and I'm content with that. It doesn't bother me.

[At least their debates on his bachelor status was between the two of them. He was waiting and dreading the day that Maul decided to have a go at it on the network. He'd be shoving his brother through a wall at that point. Meant well by him, still would be beaten for it.]

I would. But there still would have been time to engage in that later on. We could have had more of it at the beginning to do what we wanted.

[Time had been a great thief to Maul and Savage. It had stolen away so many years after the two of them were separated as young kits and gave them back so little of it once the two of them were reunited as adults again.

At least now they could make up for it, having more days to spend together as they wished instead of always being on the run or getting involved in complicated plots. There was more time to get to know one another, the little quirks each of them had, their likes and dislikes. All the things Maul had missed out not growing up with his brother on Dathomir.]

Well, it bothers me. I will let you do what you wish for now. But if it goes on for too long, I shall have to do something about it.

[Namely, publicly announce that he was looking for a mate for his brother. That wouldn't go over well with Savage but at least it might turn up some interesting prospects on who might be willing to date the yellow Zabrak.]

Your revenge seemed very important to you back then. It's all you had been thinking about since you'd been lost. It's what kept you alive.

[Savage would never deny Maul the importance of revenge, and while it hadn't been his nor had he cared who it was, he had thrilled in battle and being a pack again with his bloodkin. He had gotten plenty out of his experiences with Maul back then, even if a distance was forced after a certain point. That distance would have always been there even if they had stayed put because Maul had not been raised beyond a certain point to love and care on an equal playing field with a brother. Maul was always better, stronger and far more lonely than a Nightbrother should be.]

I don't regret any of the time we spent together. I only wanted it to be longer, but we have that here. And you've become far more of a cuddler these days, more than you ever were on the ship.

[Savage opened his mouth to more aggressively contest Maul's determination to encourage him out there, but he wisely shut it again to think longer before speaking. He knew that nothing would deter Maul once on a topic of some importance, and he sighed from his nose.]

Are you going to put me in an arranged union, brother?

[He stared at Maul with his dead-pan expression, and it matched his tone too.]

[survivalthroughhate]

You do have a point.

[He hadn't had the advantage of foresight when he'd been traveling around with Savage. Had he known what was coming, he would have run back to Dathomir with his brother and kept him safe there. But at the time he only knew how to plot for the revenge he'd always wanted. His plans had all seemed infallible to him at the time and success was assured. In a way it had, though the price of having to pay with Savage's life was far too high.

Maul scowled and punched Savage lightly on the arm when he said he'd become more cuddly. It was true. He was no longer willing to allow himself to deny the affection that he'd craved his whole life simply because that wasn't the way things were done for the Sith. No, he would hug his brother all he wanted to and not feel ashamed of it anymore.]

No, not one of those. Think of it more as.....are you aware of what "blind dates" are, brother?

[Maul wasn't above setting his brother up with someone he'd never met before if Maul thought the two of them would hit it off.]
