Summary: This Cardassian fellow Julian has just met at a dull post-fashion show party is really very fascinating--but why does he make his date so flustered?
Author's Notes: This scenario is sort of loosely based on 24th-century canon--very loosely. It's not a prompt that interests me very much, so I didn't spend as much time as usual working out the details.

Instead, I took this as an opportunity to play around with the weird contradiction DS9's writers seem to have unintentionally introduced, wherein Bashir is a lovely human being but kind of an ass when it comes to dating. I'm not sure if I was able to keep that balance, but it was fun to try anyway.
