Yes. He is weak right now. [There's no other way to put it. Peter is like a faulty circuit that Paimon's power is conducted through. Anytime too much is put through it, the fuse gets blown and the pair are back to square one. What Maul needs to do is rewire him so to speak.] But just because one is weak doesn't mean there isn't a way to grow stronger. If we start simple with something such as meditation, it can help strengthen his mind to your presence and allow you two to work more cohesively.
[This might be the turning point for the two of them to finally start coming into the demon's own power and Maul would love to be a part of it. He's always been fascinated by power and he's very curious to see what could happen if the two of them were able to start working together, able to harness Paimon's vast power correctly.]
Indeed. I think now I understand why she did what she did with those other witches in placing a curse on me.
[He assumes now this was partially a revenge scheme on her part for what he'd done to Paimon and by extension Peter back in Deerington. Maul has always suspected her reasons for cursing him weren't entirely altruistic and for the "greater good" of the Sleepers. He wonders if the other two witches even knew that was why she'd done it. The young witch did seem to play things very close to the vest. Just look at how long it has taken Maul to realize she was involved with Paimon's host.]
I am not optimistic she will like what I have to offer very much. But I leave that up to between you two to discuss.
[Maul's offer, even if done in selfishness and for his own reasons, is sincere. Usagi had made him promise to stop messing with the teen for his own agenda and reveling in terrorizing him, and while Maul won't be pushing either of those actively anymore, he can still gently try to direct the pair towards in a way that helps benefit him.]
