‘Excuse me, but could you not sit on those fabrics ⸺ they’re high quality vicuna. You have no idea how many strips of pressed latinum I spent to obtain those. You know, they’re all the rage on Alpha Centauri, so you can imagine how atrocious of a process it was to secure a shipment for a singular tailor on Deep Space Nine,’ Garak said exasperatedly, his bright blue eyes trained on the mutt as he cautiously approached it.

The Cardassian wasn’t a great supporter of Earth canines. They were verbal, dependent on their owners, destructive, and everywhere they trod, their stench permeated the air... And as for the strips of pressed latinum... Those were counterfeit; he had successfully hacked into the merchant’s systems and deposited his innocuous order under a false identity into a long list of insignificant names and places, and had it delivered to an astute intermediary who was graced with the gifts of whatever God some people claimed was watching over them. They could never trace the order back to him or his agent... That was all that mattered to him. Odo would be beyond repulsed. The thought alone elicited a smile.

‘So, if you could kindly vacate my shop, that would be much appreciated. I’ve got loads of dresses to make and pants to hem, therefore I implore you, cease whatever effort it is you are pursuing; I don’t have time to entertain you. What is it humans call it again ⸺ fetch? Yeah, I don’t have time for that.’
