It’s an interesting facet of Garak’s character that he’s a person who lies for a living, but he also has great respect for unfettered honesty. Which is why he and Odo form such an odd kind of friendship. Like when Garak accidentally finds out that Odo’s been hiding the true extent of his illness from Kira, because Kira already has enough to worry about.

Garak feels so terrible for Odo that he becomes uncharacteristically genuine, and Odo responds by throwing his kindness back in his face…and look how Garak reacts:

He respects Odo more for it. Garak was honest to Odo, and Odo was honest in return. That’s all he wants.
