The sound doesn't quite register at first, nor does the pain. The first thing Garak really notices is that instead of managing to land a blow on Julian he's somehow landed himself on the ground. Then the rest sinks in and he looks up in pain.

"You shot me," he says, voice shocked and strained. There are so many people Julian seems to go out of his way for but instead of simply walking away he'll choose to shoot Garak? There's an emotional sting there too, a sense of betrayal. But he can't dwell on that. He's bleeding, and he needs to stop the bleeding if he's given the chance.

"You've made a grave mistake." There's anger there now too. Garak rips one of his sleeves awkwardly, hands shaking.
