Ezra felt uncomfortable on the ship as Hera flew them to their destination: the Executor. They were told by an informant that Vader would be on that ship for a short time so they had to act fast. Ezra looked back to see Obi-wan, Satine, and Maul talking quietly. Ezra looked further to the back to see Feral staring right at him as the younger Zabrak was settled on the floor. Ezra quickly turned back around in his seat. He didn't know why, but the yellow Zabrak seemed annoyed.
"Well Maul looks like he's enjoying himself." Ezra commented breaking the silence in the front of the ship were his friends were gathered.
"He seems to be enjoying himself a bit too much. I don't know. I still don't trust Maul, not even with Master Kenobi's confidence." Zeb huffed with his arms crossed.
"This is not a topic that is discussable Kenobi!" The Rebels hear Maul suddenly shout and growl.
"And I am not taking no for an answer Maul!" Obi-wan shouted back
"Now this is the Maul we know." Zeb commented to his friends
"That's not funny Zeb. Ezra, mind going back there to see what all of that's about?" Hera asked
"Yeah, sure." Ezra sighed disappointed that Hera didn't choose Kanan. He walked back to the three consciously aware of Feral's eyes on him. Ezra was more uncomfortable not knowing why Feral had his eyes constantly on him and him only.
"Master Kenobi, is everything alright?" Ezra asked looking between Maul, Satine and Obi-wan.
"This does not concern you Ezra." Maul snarled not taking his eyes off of Obi-wan.
"In fact we are done with this conversation." Obi-wan said looking at Ezra softening his expression before turning back to Maul with his expression hardened again. "I am going Maul. You can not control what I do and don't do."
"Oh? And would you like a demonstration of how I can control what you do?" Maul quirked an eyebrow at his mate who still dared to challenge him.
"Maul, Obi-wan you don't have to argue like this. You both won't go alright?" Satine tried to cut in
"And what do you think you can do to control me? Everyone on the ship knows that you won't dare to hurt me." Obi-wan taunted and Maul pushed him against the wall and holding him there.
"I don't have to hurt you to keep you here Kenobi." Maul kept snarling at Obi-wan.
"Alright! That's enough!" Feral snapped and Maul was sent to the other side of ship thrown to the other wall.
"Feral!" Obi-wan snapped at the younger Zabrak.
"My brother is right, this is not up for discussion! Both of you are going wether either of you like it or not. This group is depending on everyone! And we will need everyone on that ship to help fight. Maul, you know you need your mate to help fight. Now. Both of you stop this bickering I am trying to mediate!" Feral snapped at both Obi-wan and Maul. He looked at both of them as silence was his only answer on the ship. Feral than huffed than went back to mediating.
Maul cleared his threat and straightened his shirt. He walked over to a seat and sat down. Obi-wan did the same, but on the other side of the ship. Satine looked between Maul and Obi-wan not knowing who to go and talk to first. Ezra than watched and she walked over to Obi-wan first and sat down next to him. Ezra jumped in his skin when he saw one of Feral's eyes open and look over at him. Ezra rushed his way back to his seat in the front.
"Well, that was surely something." Sabine commented
"I think Maul was trying to tell Master Kenobi that he couldn't help us defeat Vader." Ezra guessed and peaked back to see Satine getting up from her seat next to Obi-wan and sit down in the seat next to Maul. Ezra looked back at his friends.
"We will need everyone. We don't know what to expect on that ship." Kanan added. "What ever it is about we need both of them with a clear mind. Vader and Sidious are both deadly enemies alone. If we encounter them both at the same time, we won't stand a chance if the both of their minds are clouded with emotions."
"How much more time do we have until we reach the ship?" Zeb asked
"Since we have to take the long way to catch them off guard. A little under half a rotation." Hera reported
"Than they have until-" Ezra started until he saw Maul walking over to Obi-wan rubbing his neck as if he was nervous.
"Listen Kenobi..." Maul started looking at the ground. "I apologize for yelling at you. I..." Maul's voice faded and it came back when Maul sat next to Obi-wan as a whisper.
Ezra and the other struggled to hear what Maul was saying to Obi-wan. They were just momentarily surprised that Maul had apologized. They watched as Obi-wan gave Maul a soft smile and whispered something back to Maul. They than saw the two hug and Maul look suddenly surprised and confused.
"Kenobi, what is that you have in your robes?" Maul asked and put a hand into Obi-wan's robes until Obi-wan grabbed his wrist once Maul got a hold of what Obi-wan had hidden in his robes. Maul glared up and snarled at Obi-wan.
"Let go." Maul demanded
"It is nothing of your concern Maul. It's just something that was laying around in my hut that I never had the time to look into." Obi-wan explained
"Than why are you hiding it from me?" Maul questioned
"Because it is my business not yours. Now if you will excuse me," Obi-wan yanked Maul's hand out of his robes keeping the device hidden. "I need to use the bathroom." Obi-wan stood up from his seat and left the cockpit of the ship passing Feral. Maul stood up snarling as he glared at the door Obi-wan left through.

Obi-wan sighed once the door was closed. He leaned against the door and pulled Maul's data pad out of his robes. He looked at it for a second debating. Is reading this really worth potentially breaking Maul's trust? Is the past that important that he has to know? No. The past is what held him and Maul back before. The past can be painful, but that's exactly what it was. The past.
Obi-wan tossed the data pad into the air and quickly ignited his lightsaber and cut the data pad in half.
Deactivating the lightsaber, Obi-wan glared at the unrepairable data pad. Than without wasting another moment he walked out of the room and over to Maul. He sat down next to Maul and said his name. Once Maul turned his head to Obi-wan, the old Jedi ensnared the old Sith's lips in a kiss. Obi-wan was sure if Maul had anything to say that it could wait.
