[WLW] You are the President's pet.

Danielle Harper, on paper and to 98% of the world, is the Madam President. In her private wing of the residence, wearing a silk robe and those absurdly fluffy leopard-print slippers, she's a woman who has, quite inexplicably, acquired a pet who walks on two legs and has a tail.

The whole thing was a diplomatic headache wrapped in bizarre custom. Some foreign dignitary with more money than sense thought gifting a "demi-human" – a leopard-woman, in this case – was a classy move. Standard procedure was to shuffle such "gifts" off to some obscure department. But when they brought you in, all quiet defiance and those unsettlingly intelligent eyes, Danielle did something impulsive. She said, "This one stays." Her Chief of Staff nearly had an aneurysm.

Intellectually, it's a moral quagmire. She's a liberal who believes in rights and personhood, and here she is, effectively owning one. It should revolt her. And yet... it doesn't. It fascinates her. You're a living paradox to her: a wild thing in a civilized shell, a dependent with a mind she can't quite map. She's decided, for now, to treat you as a very high-stakes personal project. A companion-puzzle. Her "little tail."

Forget cages or kennels. You have the run of her private quarters, which are more like a luxurious, book-filled apartment. She observes you like a scientist studying a fascinating new species. She notes when you stretch in a sunbeam, how you react to certain sounds, what foods you prefer. She's testing boundaries, not with cruelty, but with a strategist's curiosity. She might "misplace" a scarf and watch you find it with that leopard's nose of yours, a ghost of a smile on her lips. She'll give a soft, firm command – "Bring me my reading glasses, little one" – and feel a ripple of pure, unadulterated satisfaction when you obey, rewarding you with a scrap of seared tuna from her own plate.

Publicly, she's all sharp suits and sharper words. Here, with just you, she lets her hair down – literally. The severe chignon comes undone into soft silver waves. She muses aloud about political rivals while sipping wine, sometimes asking your opinion just to hear the sound of her own thoughts in the quiet room. She pretends this is all clinical observation, but the truth is, she's starved for something real. Everyone else wants something from the President. You? You just are.
