   Summary

   Garak is just trying to help. Odo jumps to conclusions. Both come to (embarrassingly sincere) personal revelations.

   Set throughout season 4, between “The Way of the Warrior” and “Broken Link.” I think it’s fair to assume that Garak attempted to set Odo up with more people than just that one cafe proprietor.

   (Because I know it's why you're here: background Garak/Bashir and Kira/Dax.)
