god i love this moment. i love sisko. he so clearly is thinking “one girl’s life IS worth more than eight life times of knowledge and experience.” like this guy could not have said a worse thing to sisko in order to plead his case. not only does it expose exactly how he wants a joining for all the wrong reasons, assuming it’s about power and being someone “better” rather than simply “different.”

sisko has already had this great moment of defending not just jadzia dax but jadzia alone, and his goodness in being able to see both their singular values, his ease in respecting both creatures in all the ways jadzia dax and jadzia are the same and not, and how frickin noble he is!! i just!!

i also think this is what jadzia dax and sisko have most in common. this sort of honor-ability. sisko grows to respect jadzia specifically when she protect’s curzon’s previous lover. and then sisko protects jadzia in a way that implies he think more of her than simply the worm once joined to his dear friend. i love them.
