Notes: And we're doing another City person for this round. Meet Dee, she is one of many, many aspects of Death that run around and she's also a bartender, a cat and is in love with a wolf named Verity.

It's strange for Dee to have a time limit on something. She's never known time to be something she's had to keep track of because she is infinite She, on some level, has existed since the beginning of things and will exist until the end.

But Verity changed that. She came into her life and shook it up in a way Dee had never expected but was perfectly happy to have happen.

She remembers when Verity was younger, still making her way in the ranks of the pack, doing what she had to in order to make it to the top. Dee found her after a fight, she's riled up some other wolves taht she just couldn't handle on her own. Dee helped her, fixed what she could and let her heal up on the couch in the back room of the bar.

She never knew anything would come of it, she never guessed that this would be the start of something special.

Verity thought that she had to repay Dee for what she'd done, do things for her, keep watch over her. She was never pushy or in the way, just usually around, settled in a corner waiting to see if she culd do anything.

Dee got used to her presence there, foud it comforting to have a familiar face in the crowd every night. She would send over drinks when she could and usually something to eat around the middle of thing. She never talked much to her but neither of them seemed to mind.

And somehow they became a thing, stumbling towards each other in fits and starts. Very would sit at the bar instead of the table. Dee would invite her to stay over when she had too much to drink and couldn't be trusted to find her way back.

They do this dance, flirting a little here and there as well, until Dee gets sick and tired of beating around the bush.

"Let me take you on a real date."

Verity looks surprised and Dee almost thinks about taking the words back but she says screw it. SHe's not embarrassed about what she said It was honestly what she waned and if she didn't go for it, someone else would.

After a moment's hesitation, Verity nods, offering a sliver of a smile. "Yes, let's."

Dee is over the moon.

After that initial date (dinner at a cozy but nice place Dee knew they would be welcomed at, then a walk home again) everything fell into place like it was meant to be.

Verity (who, at that point had easily become Very) would come over when she could, abandoning pack for Dee. She knew that would have some consequences but she also knew that the wolves wouldn't start shit in her bar. If they did, she could take care of it pretty easily.

One night, they're settled in Dee's bed, bot, both lazy and comfortable in the afterglow. Very is watching Dee as she fiddled with her phone a moment, and then, almost out of nowhere, she speaks.

"I like this, she says. "I like...you."

"I'd hope so. Considering how much time you spend around me, it'd suck if I was not in our good graces."

Very shakes her head. "no, I mean...I like you. More than just....than what we've been doing. I want this, I want it for as long as I can."

Dee smiles, leaning in to drop a kiss to her cheek. "You've got it, you've got me. For as long as you'd can."

Very stays silent for a moment, clearly pondering something, then speaks, voice careful. "So...SO we can do this. I can do this until..I don't know, something happens to me?"

She's eating around the bush but Dee knows exactly what's going on. "I'll be with you until the end, darlin' and after that, if you hang around, then I'll still be there. You've got me now and I'm not letting go easily."

She seems to relax after that, a warm smile, bigger than Dee is used to seeing, spread on her face.

"I love you," Very says.

"Love you too."

"To the moon and back."

"To the end of time."

They settle in against each other, Very wrapping her arms around Dee and pulling her close. It makes Dee smile and soon enough, she can feel Very's breath fall into sleeping patterns.
