He grins with that reaction of hers. Maul guides her hand to his chest, his other hand touch her hip and bring Ahsoka even closer.
"I beg you to remember that you're the one who approached me almost naked saying you'd convince me to help rebels..."
Fingers draw her curves, feeling all of her

Ahsoka was suddenly shocked as a massive lump in her throat remained after his statement. Her breathing became more drastic as his glowing yellow eyes only made her body shutter.
ā P-Private? ā
She asked, already knowing the answer but couldn't help but question him.

"You should regret not making this exact decision before, not our future together."
He pulls her, now looking eye to eye closer than ever. His yellow pupils staring deep at her blue pearls. Everything in them is too different, yet he doesn't know anyone in the galaxy that understands his pain

The Togruta looked up at him. Her mind was completely racing as she felt even her mouth was becoming dry. Everything within her told her not to take his hand. But...
His words were genuine. Unlike many others, she's met since the fall of the order. No, he was actually honest.

"We already covered that I'm not the man you thought I was."
He steps closer to her too. Serious and imposing, eyes fixed on hers.
"We had a connection that day. I offered partnership. You denied because your lack of vision about the rest of the galaxy."
When they break eyes contact is because

ā I... I suppose. ā
Ahsoka was deep in thought now as she paced around. There is too much in her head to really think properly.
ā You're not wrong. I would have thought that after you escaped me, you'd want nothing to do with me anymore. ā
She took a few steps closer.
ā Why do you care? ā
"As you should. Different from your other masters I don't demand blind faith.
But I doubt Kenobi ever said you could trust me. And I'm sure he said about Anakin being trustworthy and Jedi having Sith under control.
Trust what happened with you. Skywalker betrayal, the Jedi have fallen. I'm here."
š“ššš
ā . . .
I don't know. You are correct that you've never lied to me. Ever since we met, you've been truthful. Just... everything Obi-Wan told me about you makes me always so hesitant. ā
"Can you remember me when I lied to you, Ahsoka Tano?
It is power, but not personal. It's growth we can only achieve together. Both of us were betrayed by different sides of the force. WE are balance. No Sith Lords, no Jedi Masters."
š“ššš
ā How do I know I can trust you, Maul? You don't exactly give me complete confidence in many things... why do you want me so much?
Is it purely for power? ā
"Because you are not an alienated victim of the Jedi Order anymore. You got betrayed by the one you had blind faith and recovered your eyesight.
There is nothing holding you from taking my hand."
š“ššš
ā Fix me? You could hardly fix me. You may have offered your hand to me once, but what makes you certain I'd take it this time and have you "fix me," as you say? ā
