Maul glanced at Ezra with definite contempt in his eyes. Getting dragged on a jungle adventure with one Jedi who'd had a piecemeal education was going to be hard enough and now there was two.

Just before Luke called out to her, Maul felt Ariadne's unmistakable presence in the Force. She always had such a light feeling, her life force not bright like the sun but flowing like the wind. Maul looked upwards, trying to spot her in the thick forest canopy.
