Anything for JesseMaul and 4?? 👁👄👁
your rocky spine by great lake swimmers // I was moving across your frozen veneer/The sky was dark but you were clear/Could you feel my footsteps/And would you shatter, would you shatter, would you
[FOR THIS MEME]
The lieutenant stares out at the city through the transparisteel window, hands clasped at his back and his back straight. He’s gained weight since the last time Maul was on Nar Shaddaa, and the fabric of his simple dark shirt strains around his shoulders.
Maul stops in the middle of the room and stares at the clone trooper. The man knows he’s there--the lieutenant’s eyes found Maul’s through his reflection on the glass when he first stepped inside--but he seems to have decided to ignore him.
In the Force he feels--frozen, far away, closed off. Like the heart of a comet on its way across the galaxy. 
Qi’ra’s somewhere in the apartment. She is--busy, distracted. Probably looking at them through one of the security cameras. Maul focuses on the lieutenant. 
He isn’t nervous. He isn’t scared either. He’s just there, steady and cold. 
Maul expected the lieutenant to hate him--and he does. He’d make a wonderful Sith. 
What he didn’t expect is this--indifference. Maul scowls. He wants to pace the room, to make the lieutenant look at him. 
It’s humiliating. It’s ridiculous. 
Maul leaves the room. He hears the lieutenant scoff, his amusement sharp and cloying in the Force.
