I don't enjoy my brother burning bridges, as it were, but that's his decision and I stand by him for it. If he asked me to, I would do it for him.

[Because Savage had no issue taking any of Maul's needs on, didn't quell from orders that would never come. He wouldn't care to be villainized in his brother's stead or even because of his loyalty.]

I see. So you were simply setting a boundary through honesty. You're far more direct than most Jedi.
