Oh. Well. What makes him mad?

[survivalthroughhate]

Well, I once stepped on his tail, and I didn't realize he'd take it so to heart when I didn't give him an apology for it. He broke almost everything breakable in my house, including me!

[wapples]

[This doesn't feel like as much as an over reaction as Maul makes it sound like. In fact, it feels pretty clear to Billie what should have happened.]

Well, you're supposed to apologize when you hurt someone. Especially when you didn't mean to.

[survivalthroughhate]

I didn't realize that at the time.

[Maul was very much emotionally underdeveloped. It took talking to Snow White to realize just how mad that had made Cranky.]

He takes such things very personally.

[wapples]

So do I. Like this one time, this guy that owned this store tried to make me go away so he could talk to Tuck and Vyng without me there so I stole some poison from him. So you should be nice to people so they don't get tempted to be mean to you, or steal your stuff.

[Sage advice from a nine year old.]

[survivalthroughhate]

Sound advice.

[Maul said, nodding in agreement. He also didn't see anything wrong with Billie stealing poison from the store owner either. When he had been the same age as the youngster, he would have done the exact same thing.]

Though being nice can be difficult sometimes, I have striving to be so more often.

[wapples]

Well, that's why you gotta practice. It gets easier to be nice if you practice a lot.

[survivalthroughhate]

I shall take those words to heart.

[He wasn't even being sarcastic. Children never had any reason to lie to him, so Maul believed them far more than the adults that usually surrounded him.]
