Maul looks up at Rose in amazement. "You do? Grown-ups get sad like that too?" He's never seen any of the adults in his life show that particular kind of emotion openly on the surface. Nightbrothers were taught to be tough and strong, while his mother and his master both seemed incapable of ever feeling that vulnerable to his small mind.

He hesitates for a moment before he tentatively reaches out and takes Rose's hand, trotting through the snow alongside her.

In this instance, it wasn't the malice of his master that has prevented Maul from tasting the drink, it was just the fact he's never been in a place before in his short life where it was popular to drink. Zabrak are carnivorous and his taste buds are more suited to finding savory things delicious than those which are sweet the way humans do.
