[Maul's fiendish delight in the holiday means he's once again broken into people's houses and used all the stealth he possesses to leave those he likes a gift or two. Sometimes, he even goes right down the chimney like a demented version of Santa Claus. He leaves Luz a necklace with a hidden blade in it as his present and a short note.]
Merry Christmas, Luz. I hope you will find this useful if you are backed into a corner.
Point taken. Speaking of cute animal, there is a pair of fathiers I have been trying to find homes for. Would you like one as a belated Christmas present?
[That's exactly the reaction Maul had been hoping for.]
I would be happy to give them to the household. I know they will find a good home there and everyone would be responsible enough to take care of them. Do keep in mind that however cute they look, they are very tough beasts that will need lots of training so that they don't run roughshod over everyone. They are small now but can grow to be over three feet at the shoulder, their bone density is so great that they can smash through nearly anything with their legs, and they can find purchase on almost any horizontal or even vertical surface in order to run on it. However, if you can train them right, they can be ridden around.
[Luz is already writing all of this down, so intent is she on keeping these adorable Fathiers as pets. She would likely have been familiar with them anyway considering animals from Maul's planet had infested her street in Deerington, but she had too busy escaping their wrath at that time].
Right. Got it. Might have to ask Varian to make a sturdier door for the stable then. What do they eat?
[Hopefully not Loraine. Fern would never forgive her].
Grains, hay, grass, that sort of thing. Tree leaves can be given as a treat once in a while. They are herbivores. They do need a lot of it as they have a double set of teeth and therefore eat quite a large amount. I recommend feeding them two large meals twice a day and two to three snack portions throughout the rest of the day. They are currently at about waist-height on me but when they are fully grown, they will be nine feet tall at the shoulder and their heads will stand even taller.
They are quite enormous and very fast. On some worlds, fathier racing is a sport that many enjoy watching and betting on. I'm sure I don't have to tell you this but be kind to them. Fathiers are often mistreated in an attempt to get them to perform better but I think everyone in that house is more than aware not to do such a thing to the beasts.
Some believe in treating others kindly only if they can turn a profit for them. The moment they are no longer useful, they discard them as being useless.
[Kind of like what Sidious had done with Maul, so he's got a soft spot for the poor fathiers and how they're treated.]
Good! I shall bring them over to the house then and leave them in the front yard. You may name them what you wish.
Well, I believe those people are duckspit of the highest caliber, and they don't deserve to have these kind of animals as pets. They can go race snails or something.
[Luz already wanted to hug and care for them and they weren't even here yet].
Great! I'm sure the people in the house won't mind!
