Important question. Here’s my best guesses.

I have no doubt Garak gave him all kind of guff about the ordeal after the fact. Wether he actually tries to convince Julian that fish cakes are important/ a delicacy or whips them out as a “favorite of his” as a bit of a joke is up in the air. But! I have no doubt that the particular smell of a fish cake would emotionally age Julian a couple of years as he has to relive the whole ordeal.

One time I was precepting someone new, and they had a name that could be pronounced a couple different ways. This isn’t the real name, but think Maria vs Mariah but a touch more Eastern European. I asked her how to say her name, and she said, “I answer to both,” and I was like, “but which do you prefer,” and she said, “honestly it doesn’t matter,” and I’m like “really?” and she’s like “yeah,” and at that point it seemed ruder to keep pressing the matter than it did to take her at her word. Anyway, an hour later, I run into a another nurse I know from our department, and one of the things you’re supposed to do as a preceptor for new nurses is introduce them to people to facilitate working relationships—there was a whole ten minutes in the mandatory training on it, we’re big on Connection—so I go, “hi nurse I know! This is new nurse, Maria!”
