"This way ma'am, they are expecting us shortly, and the President is surely ready for you to enter her home.," he said while escorting her to the entrance of the newly constructed White House.

Sorcha hurried behind the Lieutenant. She was still a somewhat young woman, having some anxious tendencies, but she tried to keep calm and collect, and act professional. It was still another leader of another country, but it was also the famed leader of the free world. "Thank you, Lieutenant. Her home? Oh, yes, the new White House. For a moment I thought you meant her personal home!"

Harper replies "Yes, the President lives and operates here. The White House is the most secure building in the country, with multiple escape routes in the unlikely event that the White House is compromised."

He walked to the entrance door, showing his orders, and they get past the Agent guarding the door.

 

"Welcome, I am Nadine, Chief of Staff for the Secretary of State, Elizabeth and the President are in the oval office, if you'll follow me, I'll guide you to the room.," a woman said rather unexpectedly

Sorcha understood what the Lieutenant said, her administrative building acting as such the same. Similarly, a castle with a throne would both be where the Monarch would live and do most of their business. However, Presidency being a temporary position, so what the White House a temporary home. Sorcha bowed, to both the Agent, and to the Chief of Staff. "It is nice to meet you, Miss Nadine. Thank you for your hospitality, I am ready to meet the President. I hope the President is ready for me," she huffed a laugh, fearing any judgment.

"The President is ready for you, follow me," Nadine says sternly, where Sorcha gets ghe sense that Nadine is a serious and stern elderly woman.

As they walk, staff are seen doing day-to-day routine work, Security Agents patrolling the hallways and rooms, well dressed strangers. The decoration was clearly based on flower design, with tons of potted plants, paintings and etc. Cameras recording every room they enter before reaching to the Oval Office Door. 

 

"Queen Sorcha, this is the farthest I, the Lt. and your own men can go except for one, and he must relinquish any weapons. Sorry ma'am, just protocol," Nadine said.

A bit of disappointment could be heard in her voice, "alright then Lieutenant Harper, take good care of my men and treat them well," she said as she bowed to both Nadine and Harper, looking at one of her men, who seemed the highest rank among the others. He stepped up, professionally releasing all his weaponry to Harper, making sure safeties were on and saluting him, before taking a position behind Sorcha. "Again, thank you both for your generosity," she nodded and stepped into the Oval Office.

"Hello, you must be Queen Sorcha Catach, I am President Kamala Harris and this is my Secretary of State, she is my advisor on Foreign Affairs and manages it for me. We are glad you were able to come visit our great capital," Kamala said, extending her hand.

Sorcha stepped in enough so that the door could be shut and her soldier could enter. She immediately bowed to the President as soon as she made herself known, "thank you for taking the time to meet with me, President Harris. This is Captain Dunaid, Captain of my personal guard. I hope you'll excuse me, we don't really have a formal government as much as you, that's why my people settled on a single ruler; one head of state. It seemed the fastest way for them to establish legitimacy, so it's just me." She took a couple steps froward while Captain Dunaid stayed by the door, Sorcha meanwhile extended her hand to both of them out of respect. "You've been very generous to me and my people, please do not think for a second I will forget about this generosity, and the great lengths you've went to helping us." She was dressed in something a little different, a little foreign, and probably a little vintage. But she was trying to show her nobility without showing it off.

They both shake the Queen's hands and then took a seat, the President and the Secretary of State sit on one couch while offering the Queen a seat on the couch on the other side. "Understandable, we were lucky we already had a relatively good system with the United States and had an easier forming the Allied States. I couldn't imagine building a nation by myself, especially considering the amount of land under the Allied States flag. Concerning the agreements we are making and the financial aid, we are happy to help assist building your nation to become a self sustaining fledging nation. It will benefit both of us, we gain an ally and trade partner in Europe and our protection and financial aid, you'll be able to gain the ability to become self sufficient over time. It's a win-win situation," Kamala says while taking a sip of coffee.

After the greeting was finished, Sorcha sat down on the couch provided. It was a luxury furniture piece... Sorcha could have opted to have some in the administrative building at home, but had opted to have what everyone else had. Even as Queen, she wasn't very rich. She had some wealth, but it was little in comparison to the government of the Allied States. Not just because her realm was small, but because the people needed homes, and they were still heavily dependent on the British Internationale for industry, infrastructure, food, and other necessities. "And a great Nation it is, still holds the values it did before everything went down hill, and you gained a new neighbor," she continued, pausing to think for a moment. "ah, you still agree to Guarantee our independence? I'm very thankful for the work my representative and your Secretary of State have done to make us closer. But, if this room is secure, there was a question I had wished to propose, if we may take a moment to discuss something off topic..."

The President eyes Sorcha, and finally replies, "Of course, what is this topic?"

 

The President was not sure what to expect, so she waited for Sorcha to reply, while Elizabeth McCord starts writing.

Sorcha nodded, and unsure if it was appropriate to ask. She had spoken to some of her people in quiet about it and they thought it was questionable in the first place - the very idea, not about asking the Allied States. "You understand the kind of government the British Internationale is, yes? Well, then you know our odds of ever gaining our homeland back... Neither I nor my military experts have any plans or real... solid plans on any aggressive action, but if we are to survive without our homeland, we only have two options; submit to the British Internationale and be more than dependent, but become more of a puppet, as we have not nearly enough self-sufficiency to support the amount of people we have, or... become so desperate and dependent on our allies. I absolutely love your kindness, but your pay off towards us is going to be near nothing. You may gain capitalist business, but profits will stagnate. If we were to... and this doesn't leave this room... conceive the idea to move against the British Internationale, just to reclaim Scotland... could we discuss having your support? And I wouldn't just mean... approval. I mean... support." The Captain at the door looked nervous, as of fearful of what that question may result in from the Allied States.

Kamala gives a slightly shocked look before giving a slight smile. She takes a sip from her coffee and then replies "I am sorry, we are willing to come to your defense in case of an attack and help build your infrastructure, communications and helping you create a strong econony, however, I wouldnt be able to get Congress to approve military action against the British Internationale. We already have a threat here. At this time, the AS would not be able to provide support of recapturing your homeworld beyond intelligence services and limited logistical support. Militarily wise, the Britannians are too great of threat towards my nation, and they keep proving that they're a threat by their attempt to control the gulf of Mexico to attempt to close American shipping lanes. The timing of this request is just not the greatest time to attempt to get the AS Congress to approve an aggressive war in Europe, and of course, this will be kept in this room," the President stated while smiling while the Secretary of State Elizabeth McCord writes even more notes.

Sorcha nodded, agreeing to the Presidents reply. "I absolutely understand, and I'm sorry if I pushed our friendship too far. I'm willing to do everything I can to help my people and to benefit the Allied States, I just don't want it to be wasted... and my offer was to see if we could come to talks, if we ever felt we could make a difference in a war, which would obviously be much later. Not promises or anything official, but at a later time if we felt stable, and of course if your situation had lightened, if we would be allowed to discuss the idea. But, in any event, I'm ready to sign our agreements, and receive our Guarantee, if it is still available."

Sorcha smiled, feeling like a crisis was averted. Truthfully, this was all new to her, but she was doing her best, and it felt like a genuine and proper question to ask, despite the timing being inappropriate. "Thank you, President Kamala. Now, with that out of the way, did you have any questions for me or Scotland? I understand you may not know a lot about our country, while the Allied States and the United States are exceptionally well known, of course."

"I dont have any questions persay, but I am going to be investing millions of dollars into Scotland, I am doing it to help your people, I just want the assurance it wont be wasted, if you dont mind, we will want periodic reports of the progress. I trust you to do the right thing, however you'll have to delegate and I dont know them." The President says with a stern and serious face.

Sorcha shook her head, "the funds will go where they are needed, where you offer them to go, and no where else. Hopefully we can make something substantial with what you offer us, but the land we currently control is shrinking to the amount of Scots who are joining for freedom. Of course I am no financial wizard, but I'll put the trust in professionals that I know personally, and we will keep up to date with you as much as possible. I will promise that I won't misuse the funds, and I will do everything in my power to make sure it is used properly." She nodded, putting a hand to her chest to show a sign of trust.

She smiled and waved her to follow her to the conference room. "It's time to get the signing ceremony started. I hope you don't mind cameras, the media is already there and they will take videos of the signing, pictures of us shaking hands and everything. You will be on American news. Afterwards, we go eat because I am starved and ready to go see my kids," She says without thinking much while standing up and straightening out her suit.

Sorcha slowly stood and brushed herself off as she began to follow the President, the Captain following behind but doing his best to stay out of the limelight. "Oh no, cameras are fine, I hooe I look appropriate enough, though! What is planned for the meals, if I may ask early?" Sorcha wasn't picky, she was just a curious girl. "Ah, that makes me wonder... Leading a country doesn't leave a lot of room to be a mom, you really have to pick your days, hoh?"

"For the main meal, we'll be having Scottish Salmon. I am told it is one of the best tasting salmon on the planet, with a few sides. Roasted Parmesan Pesto Potatoes, Skillet Asparagus and Chilled Cucumber Salad and for dessert we'll be having Scottish Shortbread," she stated while making her way to the door and stops before entering the conference room. "No, it doesnt, if i am lucky, i'll get to see them for one hour before having to go back to work, but it's worth it. Leading the Allied States to ensure my children have a future," she says with a hint of sadness and then asks if Sorcha is ready for the signing.

Sorcha huffed a small laugh, trying to be courteous and appropriate, "you've set up this Scottish themed meal!" She started to whisper, "I must say I am absolutely astonished and feel somewhat praised, but you made a variety of selections, I hope it won't uoset you if I don't eat everything." She giggled, taking the hint and straightening herself and giving a smile as she nodded, ready for the signing.

"No, I will not be upset, I sometimes forget Americans have larger meals on average compared to other cultures." the President says with a smile, she then opens the door, and flashes from cameras are seen as the Presidebt and the Queen makes their way to the signing table to sign the agreement.

Sorcha agreed, following into the flashes and trying to smile and look presentable. It made her happy, thinking the American people recognized Scotlands need for independence, but she was equally embarrassed. She had just gotten accepted by less than a million people as their Queen, now she had to be a Queen with several million, how does one even start... How does the President know what to do, what to say? The thoughts slowly left as they approached the table, "thank you again, President Harris."

"My pleasure Queen Sorcha," was her reply As they take their seats, and then an unnamed man approaches the table and announces he will announce the terms for the cameras. After they were done, they get up to leave the room to enter the Diner hall, which was decorated in a Scottish fashion
