for the rest of us death will be a relief

Dolls is a good friend. An old friend. We reconnected with him recently. But I think you'll like him.

[They're both in the emergency services business sort of.]

I only ask because it is part of the family holiday traditions and Alice may make sure you are appropriately outfitted.

[crosseth]

Alice. Wynonna's Alice. With Doc. Holy - how old is she now?

( That's a, yes to the PJ's. )

[stupetballs]

Eighteen.

[Waverly makes a little bit of a face because she's feeling it the same way he is.]

It's hard to believe sometimes. But yeah, she's a freshman at NYU.

[crosseth]

So, I - we've been dead for...

( A really long time. )

Waverly, I'm sorry.

[stupetballs]

It's not your fault.

[He couldn't have known that Bobo would kill him. Or maybe he did, but he made that choice for her, for Nicole. She doesn't think he should feel guilty for that.]

And you're here now. We get a second chance, whatever that looks like.

[crosseth]

It looks pretty weird right now.

( But, he'd rather weird than... death, he thinks. )

Thanks for coming all this way.

[stupetballs]

Of course. We'll let Dolls get some sleep and then we can head up to New York for a little bit.

[She has projects she's working on that she could use a sturdier internet connection for, and there is the holiday, of course, before Alice heads to New Orleans for bonfire season - whatever that is. It's nice that the Mikaelsons are including her in her family traditions though, so Waverly is keeping her thoughts to herself.]

If that sounds good?

[crosseth]

He drove all night?

( Kind of like that Celine Dion song. That's the Charlie in him. )

Yeah. Yes. I don't have much of any other choice. New York. Never been. Big buildings. Broadway.

[stupetballs]

Not all night, I took a train through most of it, but he did drive through a lot of weird hours of the night.

[So, sleep.

But her eyes light up a bit when she mentions Broadway.]

Do you like Broadway? We could go to a show.

[crosseth]

I always liked flair. I like the classics, though. Oklahoma. South Pacific. Not Wicked or Winter Awakening.

( None of the rock. Though, Rent is catchy, he'd concede. )

Anything like that playing?

[stupetballs]

I can check and see.

[There's usually at least one classic-style musical hanging around, so she'll see if she can find it.]

I've never been to a Broadway show, but I've always wanted to go. It'll be fun to do it together.

[Normal father-daughter things, not just angel father-daughter things.]

[crosseth]

Yeah. Weird. But, fun.

( Weird is still good. )

[stupetballs]

Yeah.

[Weird is sometimes the only good you get when you're Earps. But with that, she will check in with Dolls and her sister, and they will get ready to head back to New York for an Earp family Christmas.]
