OMG, I love! I totally buy Garak being a foster father of sorts, and poor Nirra! As someone who had the misfortune to catch her parents in the act more than once *shudder* I can understand her shock!

And this:

She huffed and averted her eyes.

“Of all the people you could sleep with it had to be a... a Human!“

I chuckled right along with Garak! Surely she will discover Julian is no ordinary Human! But her outrage about his being Human was awesome. And sadly, I could see the Federation promising the moon and delivering on none of it if it didn't think helping Cardassia rebuild was worth its while.

Delicious work, as usual! I love that Garak can be paternal and a sex god all at once!
