Varian tried but mostly he were just upset that I had broken a promise to stay away from him. It was mainly his feelings I was trying to deal with and unable to truly understand. I never thought of it as going near him, merely that what I was doing was an amusing sort of joke. Of course, I should have realize what I find amusing is far different than most people.
[And after going through that drama last Christmas Maul has no desire to go through anything resembling it again.]
That's also when I stopped making promises to people. I have no desire to disappoint them when I inevitably can't keep them.
[Because making a promise meant you put someone ahead of yourself, that what they wanted was more important than what you wanted. Maul understood this but he wasn't to the point where he could do that all the time. Sometimes, yes, but mostly Maul's number one priority was still himself.
But then Oscar says something that gets Maul's hackles right back up.]
I'll respect them more when they start respecting me in return. Glitch may be frightened of me but there is no respect there. Or did you forget you're also housing a witch who saw fit to meddle in my very being simply because I scared one too many people? She helped put another chain upon me the way everyone else has done over the course of my life.
