As Maul approaches he manages to snatch the Elezen's dagger with a quick movement as his compatriot continues to panic. But before he can properly threaten Mogoom, he's hit in the back of the face by Bowser, and send plunging forward; dammit, the lizard was faster than he'd expected.

Tucking into a roll despite the ringing in his head from that punch, Maul comes up facing Bowser again, sword and dagger now in his hands.

"Why?!" He spits angrily through the mask. "Why do you of all people care what I do?" Months of careful planning and preparation for this day...up-ended in a single afternoon by this scaled oaf! How? How could have found out? How could he have known any of this?

...unless perhaps this had already happened before? No, the thought is ridiculous, but here Bowser stands, standing between Maul and his goals. At the very least this buys him some time.
