[Maul cursed himself for a fool when Dabi suddenly created what seemed like one of the pits of Hell around the pair. He knew it would take very little for the firestarter to reduce him painfully to ash. Perhaps his merciful side really was making him a bit soft or at least complacent. In a place like this, there was always going to be those who were as brutal and hard as he'd been when he'd first arrived in Deerington.
He waited to see if Dabi would follow through and burn him to death. But he didn't. Apparently, this was merely a warning.
There was no fear in Maul. If Dabi had been able to produce lightning, that would have been a different story, but as it was an elemental attack like fire wasn't going to produce that bone-deep terror within Maul that he'd never fully be rid of. So the only thing on his face was a look of anger, impotent rage that he couldn't retaliate against the man. Never mind that Maul had started this whole thing with his threats. He itched not to just lie down and take it.]
If you want to start something, go right ahead. Otherwise, I am hungry and want food.
[He waited. He was certain his brain would last the scant seconds it would take to snao Dabi's neck with the Force even if he was lit on fire. So he didn't move, every muscle tense, ready to act if Dabi did.]
