This Maul is a lot younger than the one in Deerington, not that it's easy to tell given the tattooed skin, though it's clear he's about four inches shorter than he currently stands. He's maybe twenty, twenty-one at the most. Maul is focused on deflecting the bolts back at the hunters coming after he and Eldra. They may have teamed up for the moment but that's only out of necessity. He still plans on killing her soon enough.

The appearance of someone else startles him. The Sith isn't sure where he came from, what species he is, or why he's helping them. Maul deflects another another bolt and it catches one of the hunters in the heart. "Who the hell are you?"

Maul assumes he's another one of those who had been bidding on the Jedi and who have come to try to take her back after Maul stole her away. She may be a foe but she deserves respect and Maul wasn't about to let her be auctioned off like a prized cow to let someone do Force-only-knew what with her.
