As teroknortailor said, revolutionary sleepover buddies
They’re dead. They weren’t a part of this rebellion. The Dominion knew that. The Founder knew that. Weyoun knew that. To kill her and my son… the casual brutality of it… the waste of life. What kind of state tolerates the murder of innocent women and children? - Damar
“You’d be surprised how well I can hide my feelings when I need to.”
“Not from me.”
Garak: Oh, you’ll have to do something about him long before that, Commander.
Kira: Thanks for all your help.
Garak: You seemed to have things well under control.
Kira: Did I?
Garak: Despite his statement to the contrary, Rusot will not wait until the end of the war to make his move. I suggest you don’t wait either. Kill him before he kills you.
Kira: Don’t you ever touch me again.
Rusot: I guess I hit a nerve.
Kira: No, this (Kira presses her arm around his neck) is hitting a nerve. Stop pushing me or I’ll make you realise just how many nerves you have in that miserable body.
(Kira lets Rusot go)
Rusot: When this is all over and the Dominion is defeated
Kira: You won’t have any trouble finding me.
You can always count on Garak to tell you the important stuff
I want to know you the way you really are.
Guys. The thing about early DS9 is that I cannot deal with how Kira is twenty-six years old.
And how she doesn’t know how to do anything or how to be in the world and she makes mistake after mistake after mistake after mistake because nothing makes the kind of sense she is used to and she is twenty-six years old and has no frame for the world but the immediate frame of violent resistance she grew up with and she does absolutely everything wrong, over and over, and still her peers and her commanding officer and her subordinates let her be herself and let her learn and let her have her own set of feelings even when they don’t make sense and they trust and respect her for it.
And she is twenty-six years old.
