[He's a little nervous when it takes so long for Julian to reply. He rather hopes he's not misread as not wanting to share the doctor's bed, and he's fairly surprised and relieved by the eventual answer.]

And here I was thinking I'd taught you at least a little something already. If you can say you trust me we may have to start at the beginning all over again, Julian.

[frontierbashir]

You always told me I was too optimistic.

[plainsimple]

And I am always right.

[frontierbashir]

Are you saying I'm a fool for trusting you?

[plainsimple]

No.

And yes.

[frontierbashir]

Well, which is it?

[plainsimple]

Please, Doctor. It's obviously both. You humans with your need for clear delineation.

[frontierbashir]

I feel as though your ambiguity is not something I could generalize to all Cardassians.

[plainsimple]

Forgive me. I forgot your copious amount of time in the company of other Cardassians.

[frontierbashir]

You're a pretty unique person.

[plainsimple]

As we both know, my dear, flattery can get you anywhere. The question is, where do you want this particular bit of flattery to get you?

[frontierbashir]

Only into your good graces, Garak.

[ it's replied with a casual air to it, still their brand of banter, but Julian is panicking slightly on the other side of this conversation. ]

[plainsimple]

A dangerous place, Julian. But I can only give so many warnings to a man who will not heed them.

[frontierbashir]

7 years' worth.

[plainsimple]

I'm almost worried that I'm losing my touch.

[frontierbashir]

Or perhaps you've finally run into someone as stubborn as you are.

[plainsimple]

A challenge? I'll keep that in mind, Julian.

[frontierbashir]

Surely you realized that when I wouldn't let you die because of the Wire?

[plainsimple]

Some of us are forgetful, what with the imperfect memory.

[frontierbashir]

Well then, I'm always here to remind you.

[plainsimple]

I'm glad of that.
