				(quickly)
			It's all right; you're safe.

					TAHNA
				(relaxes; smiles)
			Strange to run into each other here, 
			isn't it?

					KIRA
			It's good to be with someone who 
			knows what it's been like out there.

					TAHNA
			Wearing that uniform, I thought maybe 
			you'd forgotten.

					KIRA
			Never.

					TAHNA
				(slight chiding)
			Working on the inside hasn't dulled 
			that old fire just a little?

					KIRA
				(smiles)
			Ask Sisko about that.

					TAHNA
			Don't get along?

					KIRA
			Oil and water.

	He smiles, but is in discomfort.

					KIRA
			You're tired.  I should go.

					TAHNA
			You think he'll give me to the 
			Cardassians, Kira?

					KIRA
			Over my dead body.

					TAHNA
			That's the Kira I remember...

	He closes his eyes... she looks at him with respect and 
	commitment...
