... I mean it, though.

You're the last person I'd wanna see upset.

...

I'll be more careful.

[Quark feels the rage and anxiety seeping out of him like a pierced balloon. He closes his eyes and takes a deep breath.]

Thank you.

[Another pause.]

Sorry that I yelled at you. I just saw your name and...I was scared.

[fiftheclipse]

No, that's...

You probably picked that up from me, anyway, right?

I'd be scared if something happened to you, too.

[averytinyparticle]

...you do use a lot of words you say that I'm not supposed to.

[And usually Quark listens to that rule because he's a polite kid, but he's not feeling exactly like himself right now.]

If I die again, you can yell at me, too. We'll be even.

[fiftheclipse]

As long as you come back, too.

Otherwise I gotta solve this whole town myself to go force whoever's in charge of the revivals to work faster.

[averytinyparticle]

[Quark laughs, but it's a sound that lacks enthusiasm.]

Yeah, of course.

[He pauses.]

But really, what were you doing?

[fiftheclipse]

...

[He looks away for a moment, kind of ashamed.

It's not the dying that bothered him. He can take pain. It's.. that he'd been wrong.]

I.. kinda thought that room a while back was telling us something. If we listened to it, maybe there'd be a clue.

It was a risk, obviously, but I mean, that's why I had to do it myself.
