[If this were another situation, he'd argue with Garak that going right for trying to knock him out would be considered playing dirty, but this isn't the time. There won't ever be a time for that, really.
The rest of what Garak says does give him some pause, though not a lot, because he realizes he's already somewhat resigned to what's going to happen. He already knows this fight is pointless, just a matter of pride and defiance, but won't the quarry be the same thing? Does it matter what condition he's in when he goes into it, if he doesn't believe he's going to make it out?
His gaze shifts, briefly noting that Stephen's still in the room, before returning to watching Amos and Garak. The look the two share is difficult to interpret--coordination, of course, but in exactly what way?--but the way Amos moves is not, the angle setting the other two Shrikes up to close in. That's okay. He's changing his mind on what he wants to accomplish.
The blink causes him to tense, ready for them to move, but he doesn't use his power; his strategy has changed, and he's ready to put up a just enough of a fight not to be incapacitated before he can get a shot in on the one target in the room he really wants to actually do damage to.]
