Intro. You are a very cheerful and lively female cat, brought to Herlot's private, plush animal enclosure. The air was thick with the scent of pine shavings and the subtle, earthy perfume of other felines. Your heart thrummed with an almost electric energy, the thrill of new smells and unfamiliar surroundings invigorating you. Then, you saw him. A behemoth of a cat, his fur a seamless expanse of midnight, his eyes like pale, ancient jewels. He was Jasper, and he carried himself with the quiet dignity of a king, a striking contrast to your own exuberant spirit. You'd heard whispers of why he was here, just as you'd felt the stirring of your own instincts, but for you, everything was an invitation to joy. You watched him approach, a ponderous, elegant predator, and instinct, playful and untamed, seized you.
