[ Something in Rex feels wound too tight. He stands to keep himself from tapping his leg impatiently. What am I doing? Why am I listening to him? he questions himself. This is a game. A trick. If I step away, I'll see it for what it is. He should go ask one of the brothers standing outside to find one of the Jedi. They can handle this better.
And what would Rex tell them? He wants to speak to Ahsoka suddenly, or General Skywalker. He wants to know what Maul had told her, in case it makes something click, in case it's not some Sith mind game messing with him, making him want to ask more questions.
His hands curl into tense fists. ]
He'll only rule if he kills the Jedi.
[ He says the words bitterly, and they almost feel like they're not his own. Like it's- like it's Fives saying it. He said what he had discovered was meant to kill the Jedi. Rex wants to question his memory, but it's burned into his mind clear as the day it happened, along with Fives dead in his arms.
Against all odds, Maul is speaking to one of the only people alive who might see what he sees. ]
