Weeeeeeeeeeell not exactly. She was the Earp Heir, and Dolls was investigating cases for Black Badge in the Ghost River Triangle, so it was more of a melding of shared goals.
[Wynonna was not in charge, but neither was Dolls really, because who is ever in charge of Wynonna?]
( (wis 6) gets Waverly a pretty blank look for what Earp Heir means. (wis 4) equally for black badge save for a passing comment Dolls may have made toward the beginning of their affiliation. shared goals, she fully understands. )
Well, sounds like a mismatch made in the Ghost River Triangle. I am surprised all parties made it out intact.
( Between Wynonna's 'BEING A LOT' and Xavier's 'NOT.' )
[But she'd like to think that they rubbed off on each other. Dolls putting faith and trust in Wynonna helped her grow up a little. Wynonna's unconventional style rubbed off on Dolls.]
And I really am glad he's okay. It just hurts that he didn't think he could tell us.
He won't tell you this, it isn't his place. But, part of why he didn't - come out of the woodwork - is what we do. We work best behind the scenes. And while I can't speak to his personal whims, the ones of the professional sort - and the safety of the supernatural world - I don't know if that helps any.
( But, she hopes it does like a balm on the emotional wound. )
[Waverly doesn't think it's enough, personally. It's not that she doesn't think that Aalis has a point, but more that it's not anything she doesn't already know.]
That's who he was before he left our lives. I get what you're trying to say, just ... I'm not really sure how this is any different.
( She raises her glass, watching Wynonna and Dolls finish up their interaction. )
Always -- something.
( Steps and steps up from their first meeting, where fright overtook her. Advocating for Xavier has hit a standstill, and really it isn't her place, either. )
[Waverly nods as she turns and looks at her sister and their friend.]
Yeah. I guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens.
[And she will shift the conversation to lighter topics, and hopefully the two of them will be able to get to know each other better before the party ends.]

[It's hard to say because things were messy.]
I thought there might have been, but Wynonna got pregnant with her daughter and he was not the father so ... things were complicated.

( Well, this is intriguing. A soap opera doesn't usually draw her in, but these morsels of information regarding his past life are hard to pass up. )
no subject
[When she realizes how adamant that sounded, she winces.]
Not that I don't think ... I just know how Wynonna was at the time, and Dolls has always been very ... professional.
[He didn't cross lines. Not unless he had to.]
