"So you say. But it has always proven to be more of a handicap than help in my experience." It was a weakness he'd only allowed into his life a few times before ending up in Deerington, and always, it had ended badly for him. Here, he was tentatively experiencing it again, but always afraid it would be snatched away from him somehow.
"I know how to use discretion. I won't tell him of what we've spoken of here." Granted, the delicious suffering Obi-Wan would have undergone had Maul told him was tempting, but Maul at least knew enough to know someone telling him about his own future would have been a terrible and awful thing to do.
"I must ask you one question. Your home planet. Was it Tatooine?" He had to know if what he'd asked Obi-Wan while he lay dying in his arms was about Luke. Was he the one who had brought balance to the Force? Granted, what he'd already told Maul made it seem very possible, given he'd redeemed a Sith Lord and destroyed the last two of them for good, but he had to know for certain.
Maul, savvy to the ways of Deerington, shook his head. "I don't think that's the way this room works. I believe that hole in the wall is the key to it all." He gestured back towards the peephole. While the last thing he wanted to do was look through it once more, having the Jedi beside him gave Maul strength he didn't normally possess. This town always had a key to get out of situations, even if they didn't seem obvious at first glance.
