I know I like to refrain from Delores having some sort of maternal instinct/care from those around her, but Patricia being in her custody has really earned the right to evoking these feelings from Delores. I mean, really, there are certain things that Patricia has helped Delores with - such as cooking, or even talking about a guy she met, that make Delores feel like she’s in the midst of her own daughters yet again. It’s been some time since Delores has had a young girl telling her these things - let alone assisting her with these things, since Cassandra is a little distant and Bianca has been in Italy. Really, it has Delores genuinely feeling like a mother again.
Didi was initially distant with Tris and Wolfgang. I’m sure I already implied it with Tris (pre-suicide attempt) because they’re SO different, but she really didn’t like the idea of growing attached to another person’s child. Didi even believed Tris would try to make her become Wolfgang’s stand-in mother/24/7 babysitter. She ultimately becomes very close to the two, of course, and the way she treats Wolfgang is actually an indicator of how closer she is with Tris. Like originally, Didi goes from doing kind things for the little boy, but staying a little distant. Eventually, she’s tightly hugging him when she’s home from work and watching cartoons, smiling brightly. Not distant at all. And sure, she treats Tris the same as before - serious, deadpan - but she genuinely cares.
Tris? Makes a joke when Didi confesses that Sal has her unexpectedly pregnant? I can see her saying something like, “well, if you keep it, Wolfgang will have somebody to play with...”
Delores and Elvira NEVER hide their relationship, ever. They’re always out in public. They’re always at events. From being in their thirties to being in their sixties. But you know what? Despite the fact they’re inseparable, people in public - far outside their social circle - consider them to be good friends. Never mind the fact Delores likely told a reporter in 1995 that Elvira was the love of her life. It doesn’t annoy her though, because the mass public can be a burden.
