[So it's Lance, then. The dangerous part about having let his caring side show once or twice is that Lance could betray him right now. On the other hand, an order is an order and if Garak doesn't obey it then he's betrayed himself. There's no question of what Garak needs to do for his own survival.]
I was asked here to make an arrest.
[He doesn't visibly shift his posture, but he's ready to move nonetheless. His amiable smile is still in place. The confrontation will be here, but it's two-to-one (as he's rather sure a Cardinal won't do their own dirty work) and he's fairly certain now that he's not the target.]
Obviously I think it serves everyone for this to go smoothly.
[It doesn't. Lance can't win but to give up right away isn't like the man Garak believes he somewhat knows. That doesn't mean Garak isn't going to lie though.]
