"May I talk with you a moment, Constable?"
Bashir made sure that his words were sharper than usual so as to express that he was not pleased to be talking with him.
Odo nodded professionally and without any emotion whatsoever while he gallantly approached Bashir from an abandoned corner of Sickbay.
"I would like for Taya to remain under observation for a few hours or at least until I know for certain that she is in the clear but under the circumstances with my staff being absent I don't believe that is an option at the moment.
So I will be returning to my quarters since Taya has reassured me that my staff will return tomorrow in the morning and there is clearly no point in remaining here if there is no staff currently present, however I'd hate to leave her unattended.
Anyhow I wouldn't usually recommend this as a Doctor but she apparently recommended to me that you were just the man for the job.
Those were her words exactly, unfortunately for me.
I need someone to monitor her, check up on her, make sure she's stable, watch over her you know.
She is under the impression that you can provide that for her.
So just to let you know none of this is my idea and I would never recommend you as overseer
In fact if I was in truly in charge of everything I wouldn't be leaving her in your hands at all but I can't exactly go against her wishes.
So I'm wondering if this would be possible for you to watch over her in my absence".
"Well since you asked so nicely, I suppose it could be possible... under the circumstances."
"Excellent.
How close her quarters in proximity to your own?"
"Well considering the circumstances not close enough... apparently.".
Odo partly growled these words but he revealed a priggish grin to him.
"Well then I suppose it would be best if she was stationed somewhere closer and as much as it pains me to say this she should probably be somewhere next door or perhaps right across the way from you, that id if it's possible".
"Lucky for you, there is a empty place right across from me.
It's been empty for quite sometime.
What's even better is I even have a couple of hours of spare time that I can dedicate to watching over her so to speak".
Odo was enjoying this a little too much and Bashir knew all to well because he could tell by his wickedly complacent expression.
Bashir had a broody glare that was directed at him the whole time just so he could let him know unhappy he was about the whole arrangement.
"Fantastic.
I'll let her know she's moving.
Oh by the way good luck with the speech.
I'm so glad that you and Sisko are such old chums again that he can ask for you personally to do all his ceremonial speeches for him.
I simply can't wait to hear this one".
"Please Contain your enthusiasm Doctor, I wouldn't want you excite yourself too much before you head to bed."
"Oh don't worry about me Odo.
I'm just a meddlesome man child anyway, I'll probably go out like a light the moment my head touches the pillow, because that's how simple minded I am."
"Jealous are we?
I don't think the color suits you".
"I'd like to say the same thing regarding you're insufferable arrogance but then again arrogance has always suited you well".
"Why Thank you Doctor, you're simply too kind.
Arrogance doesn't look too bad on you either, if I should be so bold".
"The feeling is mutual, Constable. I'll be right back. Excuse me".
Bashir half hissed through his contempt.
Bashir brooded all the way back to the observation room.
"The constable has agreed to the job.
He apparently has several hours of spare time, so I'm sure he'll help you pack your things".
Taya looked at him confusingly.
"Pack my things?
Am I going somewhere?"
"Yes apparently the good Constable thinks it would be best for you to be stationed somewhere closer, so he can keep an eye on you.
So Surprise, you're moving!"
Bashir feigned his enthusiasm with the last bit of positivity he had left for that day.
Taya didn't appear too sure about this, her lips curled in uncertainty yet her eyes then ignited with an unmistakable quiver of excitement.
"That's rather unexpected but I certainly have no objections to the arrangement.
If the Constable thinks it's best, I definitely won't argue with him. I'm sure he has a good reason for it".
"Oh he always has a good reason for everything, don't you worry about that.
Meanwhile I'll be in my quarters if you need me, thankfully I'll be far, far on the other end of the Habitat Ring which is far enough away from him.
I hope you enjoy your new Quarters.
I genuinely mean that, I'm not being sarcastic like I was before.
I really do hope all goes well with your new living arrangement.
Don't let him get you down, Taya, at least not like he's been getting me down as of late.
You'll be right across the street from him so to speak.
A little too close for comfort if you ask me but that's just me, the meddlesome man child, that nobody ever listens to, so what would I know?"
"I'm sure you know a lot more than people give you credit for.
Don't worry about Odo, I can handle him and as for Sisko, he's not prone to holding grudges, so I have a feeling he'll come around and you'll be drinking to his health at Quark's bar in no time.
You're old friends after all, so I doubt he'd let one little hiccup compromise his friendship with you, Julian.
He's not that kind of guy, he'll forgive you very soon and you know what, I think he might even make that turn around at that initiation ceremony of his.
All you have to do is show up and maybe you should lay off the bloodwine a bit this time."
Taya grinned at him sweetly as she left the observation room.
Bashir couldn't help but smile, he blushed as if he had been kissed by his first crush.
It took a bit to process the feeling but eventually he carried on with his day, after about 30 minutes of staring into space.
"I take it you've been debriefed on the situation".
Odo pretended he hadn't apprehensivly anticipated her arrival from the observation room, so he gave his voice a miffed edge so he wouldn't sound too eager about the arrangement.
"Yes apparently I'm moving today at your request of course".
Taya's delicate lips curved into a secretly knowing smile.
"I'll have you know it wasn't my idea, he was the one that recommended it, it was his suggestion.
He even specifically asked if there was a opening that was nearby.
I literally had nothing to do with it".
"Yes I knew there was something slightly off when he mentioned that The Goood Constable thought it best that I be stationed closer to you.
It really didn't sound like you and the tone that The Good Doctor was using kind of gave him away.
I could be wrong though, I mean it's okay if you did request for that arrangement specifically.
There's no shame in that".
Taya bit her bottom lip and then suddenly there emerged a bedazzling smile and a blinding glint of playfulness manifested in her eyes, the glint gibbishly danced at him as if it was more of a display of mockery than a mere provocative display of her childlike charm.
Odo couldn't help but tilt his head to the side so as to give her a strangely questioning side glance.
He squinted slightly as he rather uncomfortably darted his eyes upwards as if searching for the answers of why she would be coming on to him like that.
He decided to disregard the possibility that she would think he was even worth that kind pf attention.
"I hate to disappoint you, Ensign but it was not at my request.
Bashir literally asked me how close my place was to yours.
I'm just going along with this little charade of his and if it makes you more comfortable you can move back to your old place after all this is over.
You aren't obligated to stay there and you can at any time get up and leave to go elsewhere.
Noone is forcing you to do this and if you want you don't have to move anywhere in the first place."
"If I didn't want to do this I wouldn't have ever recommended you to Bashir in the first place.
Really I don't mind.
I'm not even uncomfortable about it honestly.
Infact I have absolutely no objections, Odo.
Do you think I'm that recoiled by you?"
Odo felt his throat nearly liquify at this inquiry.
"It would certainly be understandable if you were.
You wouldn't be the first".
Odo avoided her gaze as they headed to towards the Turbo lift.
He shot forwards in a panicked fashion and he nearly smashed the turbo lift console and then he stepped back frantically as to allow her to enter the lift before him in his efforts to be a gentleman.
"Odo, I didn't come here for Bashir, O' Brian or for Sisko, I came here for you.
So if I was that bothered by being around you I really wouldn't have come to this station to begin with.
I mean I'm moving in next to my childhood hero and I'm living on the best Bajoran run Station in the whole Alpha Quadrant, so I'm practically living the dream right now".
"Don't get too comfortable with the idea, you haven't even moved in yet."
"You're acting as if you're not very comfortable with the idea yourself."
Odo flashed her a disturbingly worried side glance.
"Whatever gave you that idea?"
He attempted to make his voice extremely rigid but instead his voice came out as highly trepidatious.
"You're avoiding eye contact with me and you're fidgeting again."
"It's just the lift.
I don't like lifts very much, I told you this".
"That would be a fine and dandy excuse except you were fidgeting and avoiding my gaze before we even got onto the lift."
Odo painfully grimaced at this as he rolled his eyes.
"How sweet, A detective in the making".
He remarked back rather condescendingly.
"You'd be surprised, I'm quite the capable investigator And I've been told that I'm quite observant as well."
"Oh really? How very interesting? And who told you this pray tell?
Garek or Dukat?"
Odo felt his abdomen ripple slightly but he maintained his focus so that this transformation issue wouldn't be noticable to her.
He knew he had said the wrong thing and the guilt of his remark was threatening to deteriorate his current solid form.
"Dukat might have mentioned it once or twice but it was mostly Garek that praised me for my investigative skills."
"Interesting thing to praise you for if you ask me considering the infamy of his own role as an Investigator within the Obsidian Order.
Then that's just me.
Don't mind me".
He chuckled grimly which he knew made Taya extremely nervous.
He knew then that this arrangement was going work out just splendidly, especially for him.
He had wanted her closer to his quarters anyway but what pleased him most about this close proximity was the satisfying sense of control he knew he was going to have over her life.
This new arrangement meant he could literally prevent her from making any further trouble around the station but sadly this was just wishful thinking.
Taya was not a woman that could be easily controlled and trouble was always sure to soon follow wherever she was and there was nothing he could do about it.
"So are you going to tell me what happened in there with the Emissary?"
"So you think of him as the Emissary then?
I thought you weren't spiritual or religious".
"I'm not, I'm neither actually.
I do however believe there are forces out there that beyond our control, forces we can't explain with everyday logic and scientific ingenuity but that is his title.
He is still the emissary so occasionally out of respect I refer to him as the Emissary.
It's not because I believe or disbelieve, it's only out of respect for him, you understand.
So are you going to tell me what happened or do I have to consult my security footage later during my next shift?"
"It's kind of hard to describe so maybe you should consult that security footage after all."
The Turbo liff doors jolted open to which she strode on ahead of him to grab what little belongings she had in her old room.
"Why can't you just tell me about it? I have few hours to kill anyway.
Oh no, you didn't tell Bashir about what happened back there did you?"
"Heavens no.
Not after how upset you were with him for pressing me for further details on the subject.
He did most of the talking back there.
He mostly complained about the rift he had between him and Sisko.
He also whined how you apparently called him a whippersnapping meddlesome man child".
"Oh now that's ridiculous.
I never said that...at least not directly.
I said it to Sisko and he agreed with me.
He said it fit his personality perfectly.
Besides It wasn't meant as an insult it was merely a observation".
"That reminds me of what Garek would say to Dukat.
It's not an insult if it's true.
I was just stating the facts.
Facts established by clear concrete observations.
Garak had a queer sense of humor but I liked him that is until he joined the Obsidian order.".
"Garek wasn't the bad sort, most the time at least not while he was on this station.
We got along for the most part and usually he made himself a invaluable asset to Sisko and the rest of Star Fleet staff on this station.
I heard he once even saved Bashir's life from a Jem Hadar prison several years back.
If I recall Bashir and Garek became uncomfortably close, they even had lunch together nearly every afternoon.
They had set times and set tables, they even went out on several missions together.
It was quite the bond they had going there for awhile until he took off to Cardassia again, to become a Cardassian ambassador for the Federation.
I wonder who he had to kiss up for that one?"
Odo chuckled playfully.
"Well certainly not to Dukat.
Probably to Sisko most likely.
I won't be a moment.
I just need to grab a few things and then I'll be right out".
"Of course take your time".
He spoke graciously with a graceful nod.
There were only two belongings that were currently in her name, a small handheld mirror and the modified medical scanner that she had used to remove that nanotechnology off of her face.
Odo heard the familiar whoosh of the air lock type doors as she saw Taya with two objects in her hands.
"I'm finished.
I told you I'd only be a moment".
"That's all your belongings?
You don't have Anything else?"
"No, I like to travel light, besides I haven't really had time to acquire anything else.
Back in Cardassia I learned to live without a lot of things.
I found that the things I valued and treasured the most were usually taken away from me so I never took comfort in materialistic things.
I spent most of my life having things snatched away from me while I stood powerless behind a stasis field.
You see life very differently when you view it behind a constant containment field."
"I know the feeling.
Most of my early life was spent in constant containment and confinement myself, so truly I understand the whole experience, unfortunately I understand it all too well" .
"Really? Who confined you and who had you contained?"
"Shall we say I was discovered somewhere amongst the Denorious Belt, aimlessly drifting alone within the Bajoran system, they were scientists, the ones that found me and they took me to a laboratory where I was constantly prodded and poked, shocked with countless volts of of electricity, forced to take desired shapes of their choosing and then ogled at for hours, all for the sake of scientific observation.
If I wasn't being relentlessly abused by everyone, I was being left alone, constantly seeing the world behind containment and confinement.
It was like I was a prisoner but they didn't see it that way, they saw me as only a test subject but I can hardly blame them since a majority of this time they had no idea I had any type of sentience.
Still it was not a pleasant experience".
"I was treated the same way back on Cardassia.
Madred used to conduct all sorts of experiments on me while I was in confinement.
They'd drag me out of my cell, inject me with all kinds of experimental solutions, they'd expose me to different types of radiation just so they could see how I'd react to them.
Madred preferred the shock therapy although his personal favorite was to use different kinds of phasers on me.
They were such good times especially when he presented me with the honor of using his own phaser on my vulnerable flesh.
Nothing says I love you like a severe phaser burn to my face".
"I thought you got that scar from a blade not a phaser".
"Oh you don't think I got this hideous thing by just a slow slice from a blade?
No, I was subjected to much more than that.
He wanted to prove a point not just with his blade but with his phasers as well.
I thought I was going to lose my eye.
Thankfully Garek somehow managed to slip me some hypo spray but even after that I couldn't see anything for days.
I found out later that what I had experienced what was known as a chemical burn.
I could have been blinded permanently.
Garek told me I was lucky not to have lost my sight altogether, since Madred's stun was nearly at full capacity.
So I got this scar from both a knife and a phaser."
"That's a horrible story.
Harrowing not horrible, I wasn't implying that the story itself was horrible or that you were doing a horrible job in telling it.
It's just horrible to hear about that's all.
I also don't think that your scar is that bad considering the method in which you received it.
It looks like a mild injury kind of like if your phaser had accidentally slipped."
Odo became visibly fixated on that scar and yet again he a had a terrible desire to touch it once more but once they arrived to her new quarters and entered inside, she did nothing to stop him from doing so.
She didn't even flinch or squirm even in slightest as his hand slowly approached her face.
However when his hand was halfway suspended in mid air she said something that gave him those same chills he'd gotten from her after she guided his hand to touch the holodeck.
"You know you can touch it if you'd like.
You have my permission if you want to.
I've seen you've eyeing it for quite some time.
Really it's okay, I don't mind".
There was a incredible amount of bliss in her voice as she said this.
Odo looked down in embarrassment.
"No, really you don't have to be embarrassed.
You are a changeling after all, so naturally you're curious, there's no harm in being curious.
You're allowed to have an inquisitive mind, Odo.
There's no shame in opening your mind to new things".
"Only you aren't a thing, you're a person.
You're not new play thing. or a new toy, you are an individual.
You have sentience just like I do".
"Yes we both have sentience but not quite in the way that other humanoids do on this station.
We feel things differently, we see the world differently and experience life in very unique ways.
There is no shame in that".
"There is where I come from..When this station was called Terok Nor, being unique was considered a crime.
Things like me were considered shameful and detestable."
"I don't think you're detestable, Odo, so go ahead".
Odo was reluctant at first but his hand was somehow inextricably drawn to that scar so he couldn't seem to stop himself from reaching out to touch it once more.
This time it was different, his mind was seared with the image of the great sea, the great link stretching before him.
Then he had the strange nauseating sensation of being thrown, there was that chill again, he remembered the sharp stabbing pain of rock beneath him, the excruciating throb of the air against his exposed skin.
He was vulnerable, vulnerable and looking up into the concerned eyes of Bashir and taking note of the brooding worry on Sisko's face.
He was unclothed, exposed and vulnerable but be was far too cold to be embarrassed at the time.
Odo felt solid, he felt like he was solid again, he had to gasp in horror as he realized that chill wasn't so much her Mental transference that had done this, but it was a memory.
He had been reliving a memory and the whole time he had thought it was simply her wonderful gifts at work.
She was making him relive his past as a solid.
This was intriguing but ultimately horrifying.
You were once a solid.
Solid as the rock in which you fell upon.
Tell me Founder, What is your wish and what is your desire?
The voice that rang through this memory was the voice of Taya.
There she stood upon the great sea that consisted of the great link.
His people were beneath her feet, she walked forward as the sea rippled at every step she took.
"I desire nothing.
Who are you?
Are you one of those wormhole aliens?"
"What do you think?
I mean I can't very well be one of them if I have flesh and blood can I?"
"I suppose not.
Yet what is this place?
Why am I here?
This is the last place I want to be right now.
Couldn't you have taken me to the Promenade or out into space somewhere, maybe even to the wormhole?"
"This is your home. Your hum says you are at home here so I thought I'd bring you to the only place you felt at home".
"Taya this isn't funny.
If you are indeed Taya, explain yourself".
Odo barked at her angrily.
"I am of Bajor, as are you, now that you have made a connection with my Pagh once more, we are one."
"Would you stop talking in riddles?
Just tell me what's going on like you would normally."
"Very well, Odo.
The scar is my Pagh, my hum, the place you can feel my essense and my life flow and as you can tell it is very strong and very much alive.
It's like my soul. You have connected with my soul Odo.
A long time ago, I found a changling.
The changling was small, it wasn't yet full grown, Garek showed it to me and he let me play with it and talk with it when I was in confinement.
I'd told the changeling all about you but I was young I didn't understand life not like I do now.
I tried to keep it alive but then I heard the guards coming, along with Madred, I looked at the vial in which it was being held and I sent it out into space.
I sent it to Deep Space 9 at least I think I did.
I sent it with my mind.
I thought someone could help the changling
It was a pale green and I knew it was dying so I hoped that whoever found it on Deep Space 9 would save the child.
I was hoping you would find the child.
Did you?"
"Yes, yes I did. I mean I didn't find it, Quark did but he gave the child to me and I took care of it. Then one of those Bajoran scientists, the one that discovered me, helped me, motivate it and cultivate it's shapeshifting abilities.
It almost happened, the child almost became solid but then overnight the hue changed to a dark murky blue.
When I held the child in my hand, it disappeared, then later I learned that somehow absorbed it.
Then I was made new, I was a shapeshifter again.
I was made solid for awhile but after I touched that baby changling, I regained my shapeshifting abilities again.
How did you know you had to send it here?"
"I didn't, I just hoped and prayed that it would get there.
I had no idea it would help anyone, let alone you.
I was just protecting the child by sending it somewhere I thought would be safe.
I took a leap of faith so to speak."
"Well, I am grateful that you did despite the fact you had no idea what the outcome would be.
I'm wondering what are you?
Are you some sort of Betazoid like Lawaxana Troi?"
"Ask The Sisko and he will tell you"
"No I'm asking you, Taya, so I expect you to tell me, what are you?"
"Let's just say I'm not the one you want to hear this from Odo.
What is your wish and what is your desire founder?"
"Stop calling me a founder.
let's get this straight Taya I am nothing like the founders.
I'm not cruel, conceited. scheming and destructive like they are!
I am unique!
I don't follow their ways, I don't walk in their footsteps and I don't sabotage the whole human race just to prove my ultimate superiority over everyone in the universe!
I am my own being, my own person, I am an individual!
I don't do as they do!
So I am not a Founder, Taya!"
"Then why do you dream of them? Why do you long for them?
Why is it that you desire to be joined with them once more?"
"Taya, you don't know me!
You have no idea about what I desire or what I long for!
My dreams are a mystery to you!
You probably thought after all these years of fantasizing over me and placing me as the starring role in all your far fetched stories that you've concocted up in your head but I am not a fantasy or a work of ficton, I'm not some swash buckling hero, Taya, most importantly I'm not some god and I'm not your savior.
So please get me off your pedestal and please stop talking to me as you're going to be the next emissary!
You are from Yandera Prime, you lived in the Gamma Quadrant,
you are not a spiritual leader, you were a prisoner of war, taken captive by Gul Dukat, you were a a slave until you finally managed to escape Cardassia and come here for safe asylum.
It is time to face the facts and face the truth, Taya.
I understand why you would make certain flourishes to the retellings of your story but you are still flesh and blood, you are still vulnerable and you are not invincible.
You can still be hurt and you can still be injured.
I've seen the bruises and everyday I see that scar, you can't do everything on your own, you know that Taya.
That's why you're here, so you can be safely protected and as long as you're on this station I promise no one will harm you."
The great sea melted away as well the barren rocks that surrounded them.
"You're right.
I am weak, I'm vulnerable and I'm not invincible.
I mean really if I was powerful and strong, I would have escaped Cardassia a lot sooner.
I don't see you as a god or as my savior.
You aren't just some far fetched fantasy to me or some swashbuckling work of fiction.
I see you as a person, as a individual and as a unique sentient being.
I can't explain to you how I know the things that I do but I do understand your dreams as well as your longings and desires.
You think I don't know you just because I didn't get the privilege that Sisko has had, getting to know you and getting to work with you for so long.
I know your story and I know you.
I've known you for a long time, Odo, I just was never where you could see me.
I was here on Deep Space 9 many times but you never saw me and I don't blame you, I was invisible to everyone, I was nothing but a spirit, a unknown entity floating around and constantly drifting from one place to another".
"Oh no, you're one of the Pah Wraithes aren't you?"
"No, I'm not one of the false prophets from the caves of fire.
That would make me an enemy of Bajor, I could never be an enemy to Bajor because then I'd be an enemy to you.
I merely came here mentally, I telepathically would travel here in my mind."
"On purpose?"
"Sometimes yes, yet other times It was just a happy accident so to speak.
In fact most times it was completely impropmtu.
Look Odo, I don't know what I am but yes I am from Yandera Prime, I am the daughter of Anetra and Voraxa, granddaughter of arms dealer and inventor Rurigan Nollo.
I am proud to be their daughter and in a way I am proud to be part of my grandfather's legacy, I'm proud that I am the next of his kin and that I was his granddaughter.
He was always kind to me and it doesn't matter what he did for the dominion or for the Cardassian's.
He will always be my grandfather, the man I loved as a child that taught me just about everything I know".
"Well in that case, Rurigan would have been proud of you too, Taya.
He would have been proud in seeing you come here, if he were alive he would have been very pleased and I believe he would be happy for you, now that you're free and living the dream on this station so to speak.
Now can you tell me what happened in that office today Taya?"
"I don't think you're ready to hear that story Odo.
It's not that I don't want to tell you, It's just that I don't think I know how.
When I look for the words to describe to you what happened, the words just become all jumbled up in my head.
It's almost like something is stopping me from saying it.
I don't understand it myself.
It was a deeply spiritual and religious experience, one that I can't even begin to express into words.
I think I've connected with someone or something, yet this time the link is permanent.
I feel I've changed in some way, I don't know, I feel I'm someone brand new, my mind has never been this clear before.
When I look at my surroundings, when I look into those faces that crowd the airlocks and promenade around this station, I don't just see what is external, I see what is internal, I see beyond the solid form, I see the atoms, the neutrinos, the cellular structure of every living being, I hear the life, I hear the constant hum of life, sometimes I hear the hum sing.
I can feel the pulse of all life, Odo and I don't know why.
I don't think I'm a spiritual leader, I don't see myself as a Kai, or a guru.
I definitely don't see myself as the next emissary.
Whatever happened in that holodeck and in that office of yours has changed me Odo.
I don't know how this has happened but maybe I'll know one day and then I can tell you all about it.
I promise if I figure out what's happening with me right now you'll be the first to know".
"Thank you...I appreciate that and I understand.
Perhaps I was far too harsh and hasty, perhaps you know far more than I think you do.
It was rash of me to assume you know nothing of me or my story.
However if you know anything of my dreams, I'd like for you to prove it to me".
Odo presented her a soft amd playful smile.
"How do I do that exactly?"
"You claimed you could grant wishes of some sort. Personally I'd like to see that. Just out if curiosity of course".
"I never said anything about granting wishes, Odo".
"You might not have said anything directly or specifically about granting any wishes but you did imply and suggest it.
You did ask exactly what my wish and desire was, so that implies and suggests you either want to give me something or you want to grant me something with your strange and mysterious powers.
I'm curious what you think you can do for me."
"That all depends what you ask for".
"So you're saying that there are actual limits to your power?"
"No, I'm just saying that the results may be slightly different and unique depending on your request."
"I wish...I wish... I wish I had a better understanding of solids so I could transform into them more efficiently.
I've never been able to master the faces just quite right.
It's always a little off and it's been a constant frustration for me.
I don't understand why I can't just pick it up, especially since I've lived with solids most of my life.
No matter how hard I try I can never seem to get the hang of it.
I can do inanimate objects exceptionally well but when it comes to actual living beings, I struggle for some reason.
I wish it wasn't such a struggle for me.
I wish I could just learn quickly you know, I wish I could just look at certain form and then just become that certain thing or person, instead of having to study them endlessly and relentlessly until I'm sick of it.
Does that make sense to you?"
"Yes it makes perfect sense actually and yes I believe I can grant that to you".
"Really? How?"
"Touch my Pagh, again and I'll show you".
