listen i know Tekeny Ghemor canonically hates garak’s guts but like. he IS still the father of an obsidian order operative whilst himself being a dissident, presumably he and Iliana actually had some pretty significant ideological differences, and ultimately he didn’t give a shit bc he’s A Dad™.
and the fact that he is A Dad keeps making part of me think about. some contrivance where he SOMEHOW discovers the circumstances of why garak was in the order in the first place (idk like, a Ghemor Lives au or something so post Inferno’s Light) and from then on it’s basically “kira, this is your new brother, i found him in the trash”. both garak and kira are horrified by this development.
