[From what she's seen, Maul has his own take on playing mind games with the people he's targeting. He doesn't really need to use his powers for that, he's manipulative enough all on his own.
She raises her eyebrows silently as he tells the tale about how he was suspicious at first until they managed to convince him their motivations were pure. That's a terrifying thought - he has followers that he could very well choose to send after any of them at any time should the desire to do so strike. She doubts he will - he does have a tendency to want to do his own dirty work in that regard, at least, but the possibility of him having people throughout Trench who are loyal to him is still a concern. Besides, it does seem like at the moment, he does genuinely want to change.
It's probably fine.]
You're probably not wrong about people not believing you at this point, honestly. You're going to have a long, hard road ahead of you, trying to convince them too. But that doesn't mean it's not worth doing, and I think we had that talk before. You seem... I dunno... particularly sincere this time, I guess, and like you already said, there's not much you can't get done when you're determined to do it.

[Including murder, apparently.]
I just hope it sticks this time.
