	FADE IN:

	Re-establish the station.

20   INT. DUKAT'S QUARTERS - AFTERNOON

	An excited Ziyal is setting the dinner table 
	with Dukat's finest crystal and flatware as the DOOR CHIME 
	SOUNDS.

					ZIYAL 
			Come in.

	The door opens, revealing an unhappy Kira.

					ZIYAL
				(surprised) 
			Nerys. You're early... I just 
			started the ramufta.

	Kira reluctantly crosses the room to the table.

					KIRA 
			Ziyal, I'm not having dinner with 
			you tonight.

					ZIYAL
				(crestfallen) 
			Oh.

	Ziyal stops what she's doing, fingers the glass she was 
	about to set on the table.

					ZIYAL 
			It's because of my father, isn't 
			it?

					KIRA
			That's right.

	Ziyal sets the glass down, gazes at the elegantly set 
	table.

					ZIYAL 
			I thought you might back out. I 
			was hoping I was wrong.

	She straightens a salad fork.
