Obi-wan looked over at Maul as they sat in the ship in silence. Maul had said nothing since they boarded the ship and Obi-wan kept shifting unable to stand his wet clothes. He couldn't stand being in his wet clothes any longer.
"Hey Maul, can you fly the ship? I can't stand being in these clothes anymore. I have to change into the ones Satine gave us." Obi-wan looked at Maul who had blushed a little bit. Obi-wan could barely see it with Maul's red skin, but he was sure it was there.
"Of course Master, I can fly the ship." Maul said shifting and not looking at him.
"When I'm done, you can get changed too alright?" Obi-wan said
"Alright." Maul said and they swapped seats. When Obi-wan got up he quickly got out of his robes and tunic.
"Goodness everything I'm wearing is wet!" Obi-wan exclaimed and he noticed that Maul was looking back at him. Obi-wan cleared his throat.
"Maul." Was all Obi-wan said and Maul quickly looked back forward. Obi-wan quietly laughed at Maul and shook his head as he continued to get undressed. Maul was acting like at youngling that fell in love for the very first time.
Once Obi-wan was out of all of his uncomfortable clothes, he took notice that he had no clean underwear and that there was no way that he would be putting his wet ones back on. He groans and decided to just put the pants on. He didn't like the idea of going commando and heading straight to Dathomir. Both him and Maul would be without underwear.
"Is everything alright master?" Maul responds to Obi-wan's groan.
"Yes Maul everything's fine. We just have make a quick detour for clothes before we land on Dathomir." Obi-wan says walking over to Maul and signals for Maul to move.
"But Master we're almost there." Maul whines
"I know Maul and I will take you there, but I don't like the idea of either of us walking around without any underwear. It's not proper." Obi-wan sighs
"I don't mind master." Maul says looking up at Obi-wan not moving from the seat
"Well I want you to look like a proper man before we go out to find your family. You're no longer a Sith and I'm no longer a Jedi so we don't have to look like them anymore." Obi-wan explains than gestures to the back of the ship where he came from. "Now go and get changed."
Maul got out of the pilot seat and quietly moved to the back. He got changed silently as he thought about the fight. When he was done, he sat back down in the copilot seat. Obi-wan looked over at him as he flied the ship sensing Maul's confusion and hint of sadness that also hinted at some happiness.
"Maul? Is everything okay?" Obi-wan asked
"We won, right?" Maul asked
"Excuse me?" Obi-wan asked to Maul's vague question.
"Against the Jedi." Maul explained
"Yes we did Maul." Obi-wan smiled softly at the Zabrak, who kept looking at his lap.
"So we're not Master and apprentice anymore... we're together?" Maul stated, but it came out as a question.
"Yes Maul, it is what I promised you that would happen." Obi-wan couldn't help but feel that a weight was taken off of him when Maul lifted his gaze to meet his own. He could sense Maul relax in the chair.
"No more Sith. No more Jedi. No more Masters." Maul said and Obi-wan could sense Maul's worry.
"There is just us now Maul. You don't need to worry about Plagueis or those Jedi masters anymore. Once we get some proper clothes, you'll be with your family again." Obi-wan reached out and grabbed Maul's hand.
"Plagueis will end up finding us." Maul had shifted and held on tightly to Obi-wan's hand.
"No Maul. He won't ever be able to find us. We'll live happily with your family peacefully. I promise." Obi-wan smiled at Maul
Once they landed at their planet of destination, Obi-wan show's Maul around. Obi-wan had only intended to buy clothes that would make them look presentable to Maul's family where ever on Dathomir they may be. However, Obi-wan had ended up buy a bit more clothes than he expected to as he walked around store to store with Maul, not keeping track of his credits.
Once Obi-wan declare their shopping spree over he could sense happiness and sadness in Maul. He could tell that Maul was having a wonderful time with him, yet he could also sense Maul's anxiousness to get to Dathomir. Obi-wan couldn't help, but smile at the thought of Maul finally being among his family after what could of possibly of been 22 years.
