Keep telling yourself that, Julian. That there's nothing to fear from her. She's never wanted to be feared. But she will be respected, and she will exact payment from those that are in her debt. And Julian Bashir- both Julian Bashirs- is severely in her debt, whether he chooses to realize it or not.

So she grins at him, letting his comment slide by. He need not acknowledge his debt. She knows of it, and that's all that matters. What she needs from him is;

"Oh come now, Julian. It worked out well for you, didn't it? You came to my side, learned all about us. Made a new friend, learned a new trade. Interfered in events that had nothing to do with you or your world. Incited good people into rebellion- a rebellion that has lead countless people to their deaths. And then you returned home! How could you be upset about that?"
