Anakin's eyebrows raise. For one thing, who'd want to conquer the Trench of all places? And stealing power for a vague, nebulous plan seems ridiculous. Especially given the pain and anguish it caused.

He supposes it would make sense to someone who's lived in the Dark as long as Maul has. The drive for power twists one's perceptions, he imagines.

Still evenly: "Did you know what it would do to him? The pain it would cause?"
