Maul had a curious feeling that had persisted throughout the entire day. It felt like an old connection, something not in the Force and instead more like the bonds he could form here with people, was coming alive again. It tugged him down towards the beach and once there as the squids began to reform, the connection became much more clear. It was familiar from his time in Deerington.

Bu there was no way his young nemesis would have ended up here.....Or could he?

Maul asked one of the natives for a robe and went searching along the beach. Ritsuka had always been distinctive looking by virtue of his ears and tail, so Maul had little trouble finding him. In one graceful movement, he covered the boy with the robe, and then took a few steps back. His metal legs sunk deeply into the sand. His voice was a combination of resigned and irritated as he spoke. "Unfortunately, this place has decided to be cruel to both of us." Maul squinted at the catboy's form. "Unless you are only an illusion as I suspect you might be." It wouldn't be beyond this place to bring him a figure from the past in order to torment him.
