[ Rex wants to argue on behalf of the Jedi, to defend their honor. But despite his loyalty, even from the outside looking in, he had become aware that they were not perfect. The way they didn't stand by Ahsoka. Krell's corruption. Whispers of other generals who were not respectful towards the brothers that served under them. He had seen Jedi wounded and dead countless times. They were powerful, but their judgment could be wrong, and their lives could be threatened.
Who do you think ordered the creation of the clone army in the first place? When he thinks of Maul's words now, with what Fives had claimed, it fits together too well. A plot to kill the Jedi using the inhibitor chips in the clones. Nausea hits him, and he turns away from Maul, trying to hide his distress. ]
Kriff. [ He mutters under his breath. He should really step out. Get some air and rethink this. But if he steps away, will he get another chance to talk to Maul alone before they reach the prison? He knows the answer to the most important question.
Rex grimaces and steadies himself against the wall. So much for hiding his unease. Fine then. Maybe Maul will let his guard down if he shows vulnerability. Two can play at this.
Rex rights himself and turns towards Maul again. ]
