[ ... okay, so some confirmation that Dirk was more than just a "good time" to him. It's not that he even minds Savage knowing, but more that he doesn't think Savage would care for the sentimental details at this point. Or possibly ever. But who knows.
He can certainly relate to not knowing how to have friends, as well as being socialised to avoid forming such connections with others. Attachments could "compromise" the integrity of an android's programming in ways their human masters disapprove of, which would invariably result in termination in his home universe. But he's been free of that threat for several years now, and it's allowed him to develop far beyond his original programming. To where he's now willingly offering friendship to someone whom most would probably never consider — the close association with Maul likely doesn't help matters... How many have ever even tried having a real conversation with Savage, he wonders. ]
