			I offered to watch him so the 
			O'Briens could spend time with 
			Molly.

	Worf nods and plays with Yoshi for a beat, until he 
	remembers something.

					WORF
			I thought you said you were going 
			to be working tonight.

					DAX
				(nods) 
			I was going to do a spectral scan 
			of that comet that's passing 
			through the Denorias belt.
				(to Yoshi) 
			But if I did that, who'd look 
			after you?

					WORF
				(a beat) 
			Me.

	Something flickers across Dax's features, but she 
	covers it and smiles.

					DAX 
			That's all right. I want to stay 
			with him.

					WORF
			Jadzia, you've been waiting for 
			that comet to come into sensor 
			range for weeks.

					DAX
				(shrugs) 
			There'll be other comets.

					WORF 
			Go.
				(gesturing for him) 
			I will take care of Yoshi.
