[Someday I aspire to give as few fucks what someone thinks of me as Kira did when she told Dukat she was carrying O’Brien’s child. (Explanation: Most women would have promptly explained that it was Miles’ AND KEIKO’S baby, and that she was only acting as a surrogate. Kira, well aware that she didn’t owe Dukat the time of day, let alone details of her personal life, not only let him think whatever he wanted, she didn’t even glance back to check his reaction. His opinion meant that little to her.) ]

You can’t convince me that Quark wasn’t purposefully trying to be annoying during this scene, seeing the particularly upset Kira and knowing the yelling at him is probably among her top ten favorite ways to let off steam. But as soon as she shrugs the interaction off, he immediately respects the line she’s drawn and goes to get her something that he genuinely thinks will help her feel better and then leaves her alone. Quark was a classic anti-hero, folks. There’s no two ways about it.
