1. Kira Nerys

At least, that’s how he explains to Ishka why he’s dumping her. 

She’s insulted, and furious, and more hurt than she’s willing to admit to herself. If Zekkie had just switched from fried to baked tube grubs like she’d told him to, maybe his heart wouldn’t be so fragile, but noooo. Quark is a poor source of comfort, but he does have the best alcohol on the station, so she finds herself nursing a very fruity and very potent drink at his bar. 

Enter Ambassador Lwaxana Troi, daughter of the Fifth House, holder of the Sacred Chalice of Rixx, heir to the Holy Rings of Betazed. 

Lwaxana had been putting off finalizing her divorce with Odo for a couple years (after all, maybe the poor, sweet, tortured man would tire of mooning after Colonel Kira eventually), but in light of Odo and Kira’s new relationship she felt it appropriate to sign the paperwork and be done with it. Lwaxana’s son is safe with his nanny on Betazed, and she’s a single woman once more. And happy about it. Yes, definitely, she feels only selfless joy at Odo’s obvious happiness with the lovely young Colonel. If she needs a drink, it’s to celebrate her status as a free woman. 

She couldn’t say if it’s the Ferengi woman’s elegant clothes or gorgeously wrinkled head that draws her in, but somehow they strike up a conversation. 

Ishka’s gratified to find her righteous indignation reflected back tenfold in this flamboyant stranger’s striking black eyes. “He can’t treat you like that!” Lwaxana tells her. “It’s hardly your fault if he’s hasn’t the constitution for canoodling. To blame you for his own weakness - men! All the same! I’d like to teach him a lesson.” 

That’s when Lwaxana gets the idea. 

Ishka is bemused by Lwaxana’s enthusiastic (and not a little tipsy) explanation of why they should pretend to be stepping out together - you know, courting! Having a passionate fling! No better way to make Zek regret being so hasty and dreadful to her. It will be great fun! 

the whole point of these now is that at some point quark will dress just like ishka. more below whatever
