[As soon as he saw his brother, Maul was answering with an echoed chuff and making his way over to him. He wrapped his arms around his brother in a hug and held on tight. Maul could feel the tears starting to rise to his eyes but for once he didn't try to hold them back. He'd cried only twice in Deerington, once thanks to a magical compulsion and the second when he realized they couldn't save Julia Sodder, the first times he'd done so since he'd been a child. Now, it appeared he could finally properly express his emotions about the loss of his brother.
He hadn't been able to properly mourn for Savage, first because he was fighting Sidious and then trying to be strong when Palpatine and Dooku took turns trying to break him down through torture. After that, everything had happened at such a rapid pace that he was given no time to give into his grief, and it had only been compounded by the loss of his mother. Any time he might have been given a chance to mourn the loss of his family, something else had come along that required him to put it aside.
Now he finally had that chance. He just held onto his brother and let the tears flow. Once they started, he felt like he might never stop crying ever again. At one point, he would have been ashamed to have his brother see him in such a weak state. Now Maul didn't care. He was going to cry until he was either out of tears or he'd caused the shoreline down by the sea to rise by a few inches, whichever came first.]
