You're...
You're winding me up, aren't you? You're joking.
I mean, sure he might flirt with me every now and then but it's not real. It's just a game to him.

[Of course, he could be wrong about that.]

A game? Is that what you think it is between you? Ah, I see.

[She's not convinced. One bit.]

I've had my fair share of relationships over the years and I can tell when someone is genuinely interested in you. This...seems like a good match. Garak seems to look at you a special way. His eyes sort of....shine when he sees you.

Isn't everything a bit of a game with him? Even just having a conversation, I often have to deduce what he's really telling me.

[There's a bit of a pause before he responds to the rest of that. He trusts Jadzia's experience, she's had several lifetimes of it after all, so if she's not just teasing him, then she may be onto something with that... interpretation.]

And how would you describe the way I look at him?

[He's wondering, if she can read Garak's feelings so easily, how obvious are his feelings to her?]

There is a lot of mystery surrounding Garak, yet I do believe this is genuine. I guess you could call it intuition of sorts.

[Being a father and mother several times.]

Well....it's sort of a deep admiration, mixed with a wanting of sorts.

[She likes to think she's helping Julian and Garak's relationship.]

Have you ever felt that way towards Garak, Julian?

You're usually right about these things, so I'm... Inclined to believe your intuition? Although I'm still a little suspicious whether or not you're just playing with me.

Definitely something in that area, I think? I'm not really sure I know or understand my feelings myself...
He's very unique... And brilliant, and interesting.

[And talented. And possibly just a little dangerous.

So, yes, Julian might have a little bit of a crush.]

Would I lead you on like this just to play with you? Of all people you know I'd never do that to you, Julian.

[Not really? She is serious this time though.]

He is interesting for a Cardassian. Perhaps, his illicit affairs within the Obsidian Order are what causes you to find him alluring. The danger in his eyes and his shady past. I'm guessing you find it arousing.

[Counsellor Dax here.]

[If he could give her an "are you serious?" look right now, he would be doing so. Because of all people who have a history of playing with him... But, he's inclined to trust her on this. Blame it on his eternal optimism.]

...I can't quite believe I'm discussing this with you.
You're right though. Awful, mind-reading Trill that you are.
Was that part of your training to become joined? Reading people's minds?

[Clearly, he's attempting to divert her from the current topic at hand. Namely, his ill-advised crush on a Cardassian ex-spy.]

Actually, we can't read people's minds, Julian. We're not Betazoid.

[She's trying not to laugh softly to herself. She does enjoy winding her close friend up. A lot.]

But....if you say I'm good at this, perhaps I should ask Benjamin if I could fill the post of the station's Counsellor too? Since, you say I'm such a good mind reader. Who knows what sorts of things I can discover about you all.

[Too much, Jadzia.]

But....I'd rather just stick with science. As for you and Garak.....I want to learn more. You should ask him out on a date. It's as simple as that.

No, I think that skill is entirely specific to you.

Not sure if anything is ever simple with Garak. But it might be worth a try...

I'm touched, Julian. Thank you. You should do it. Oh- actually, do you want ME to bring you two together? I could suggest a romantic date on a holosuit perhaps?
