He is. [Maul sighs.] He is a fool who is so blind he can't see where the path is taking him.
[The Sith Lord can see it though. He sees it far too clearly.]
If we must attack him, I cannot harm him without consequence to myself. [He really needs to work on finding a way to break this curse. It is becoming rather bothersome.] He is skilled with a lightsaber and we must work fast to overwhelm him so that he doesn't kill either of us in return. Our best course of action would be a surprise blitz attack. I shall draw him out, distract him, and have you knock him out.
[It had worked well the first time they fought Obi-Wan, so why mess with a good plan?]
Why don't you push him to the Dark Side fully, brother? His antics will take the heat off of you, especially if he's acting out and killing randomly.
[It wasn't ideal, and they were likely to come into conflict since that seemed a Sith basis of operation. Still, it would peel Kenobi away as well, leaving his brother to really dig in.]
He won't be the first or last person I've punched unconscious. Let me be the aggressor, brother, so you don't bring harm to yourself.
I won't need to do much if I decide to push him. He's practically there already.
[Maul wondered for a brief moment what Obi-Wan thought of his apprentice right now and then wondered why Obi-Wan had come into his mind at all. He shook his head and dismissed the thought.]
Very well. [He was grateful his brother was already 100% on board with this idea. Even if everyone else saw him as only a murderous monster, Savage was one of those that knew differently.] Give me a few hours. If he refuses to listen to reason, we shall go hunt him down.
He doesn't seem to be structured enough to be a rival to your power. He's in denial enough to fall without issue.
[Anakin was excellent with a lightsaber and as a Force user, but the human hardly seemed to care about power. It was more like a wounded rancor slashing and howling at anything that came too close at this point.
He grunted softly at the instructions. A few hours meant he could prepare and be at the ready should his brother need him.]
I will await your call then, brother. We should be prepared to overwhelm his omen as well, yes?
Very true. I shall consider it as a possible plan.
[Savage had a good point. If Anakin became the target of everyone's ire, that would definitely take the heat off of Maul and anything else he might be planning.]
If he has it out, yes. I'm sure Venge and Brute will be able to handle whatever he has.
I ended up on that boat adventure with him and Kenobi's body was there. He yelled a bunch about not being responsible. I believe Kenobi would be good avenue to push him if you choose to do so.
[He hadn't enjoyed that trip down the River of Regret. Only the one with Maul had seemed to be productive, and he liked to think it had brought them closer.]
[That just seemed to prove his brother's opinion that the Jedi were a bunch of sentimental idiots, right? It wasn't as if the Sith were much better, but at least they didn't tout silliness about peace while wielding a weapon.
Savage was growing rather fond of Brute, and Brute was definitely fond of Maul. There was a lot of gentle headbutting for pets.
He nodded his head, stepping in to knock their foreheads lightly together.]

[He does grin at the thought of Brute simply squashing Anakin's Omen to jelly. He places one of his hands on top of his brother's.]
Give me an hour or so. I will let you know our course of action by then.

Of course, brother. I am at your disposal always.
