He's a soul who suffered greatly over the years, and has mastered fighting alone, depending on nobody. Trust is a thing he doesn't give lightly or easily, and to everyone else, that bitterness and anger is all they will ever see.

[He probably wouldn't unless she did something, and she wasn't going anywhere near Maul these days, so... that was a good thing.]

Heh. He does trust a few people, but very few. Honestly? try not to worry too much about him. He won't ever see the world through your eyes. I wish even I could see the hope you see sometimes.
