Nagato     It's early morning, most of the Fleet is asleep. Nagato, however, is in her office shuffling a few papers around. Supply orders, expedition orders and combat orders are spread across that desk of hers. "Mmm. Important for all three. Let's see, I'll have the Sendai-class do this... Myoukou class do this..." she gives a bit of a nod, "And I'll have Fifth Fleet do this." she nods, before getting up to look at the model upon the dresser... "Shigure should be coming soon too... Kuma was concerned.

    Nagato shakes her head placing her hand upon the glass case surrounding the Nagato-class battleship model. "I wonder what is going with her..."
Shigure     It's a somber morning, even for Shigure. She quietly scoots out of her bunk, changes into her uniform, then steals out of the shared Shiratsuyu-class dormatory room like a little ghost. Sock-clad feet pad lightly along the corridor, rounding the familiar corner towards the Admiral's office.

    The Destroyer takes a breath, then knocks lightly. "I-I'm coming in." she announces, before opening the door, peeking around it shyly.
Nagato     The familiar voice from behind the door is given a light smile, her back still facing the destroyer. "Come in, take a seat." as Nagato slowly turns around, moving to take a seat back behind her desk. "Kuma's worried about you, Shigure. You got damaged quite heavily but that isn't what she's worried about." that light smile is still crossing her face, "Tell me what's going on, Shigure. Even I am a bit worried."
Shigure     Shigure scoots inside, closes the door then walks over to sit across from the battleship. "It was her..." she says, as if that explained it all. "I know it was her." She reaches up, and fidgets with her hair ornament, looking away from the battleship and seeming to be deep in thought.
Nagato     "Yamashiro?" Nagato questions, knowing the answer, "You look up to her, don't you? You would like to rescue her from her abyssal prison, wouldn't you?" Nagato turns around, fingers intertwined with each other, "We can make that happen, Shigure."
Shigure     Shigure sighs. "I'm not strong enough... the Fifth Fleet isn't strong enough... I nearly died because of a stupid, rookie mistake... even the new girl, Fubuki, knows better than to rush off out of formation."
Nagato     Nagato shakes her head, "You didn't get a remodel just to say that, Shigure." her voice was slightly cold, "And yes, breaking off formation was a rookie mistake, however, it's one I'm willing to overlook. Kuma was your flagship for that operation, it's imperative you need to listen to her. But without what you did, we would have never known that would be Yamashiro." Nagato gives a bit of a sigh, head turning back to look towards Shigure.

    "I will join you on your next operation. We'll rescue Yamashiro." and a pause, "And I want you to be the Flagship for it. I'll be there to give you confidence."
Shigure     Shigure blinks, utrning back to look at the Battleship. She didn't just hear that right... did she? "F-Flagship? Of the rescue operation...?" she asks rather dumbly.
Nagato     Nagato nods, "Yamashiro is important to you, yes? It is only natural for you to lead the rescue operation." The battleship turns around, a firm, stoic face on her. "I would not ask you if I doubted your ability, Shigure. Even the special type destroyer had to start somewhere. As I said, I will be there personally to see this to success but all orders will be done by you."
Shigure     Shigure looks away again. "I might just let the fleet down." she replies. "I've... never been a flagship... Nowaki made it look easy."
Nagato     Nagato takes a deep breath and places her hands upon the desk. "Shigure. It's rare to have a destroyer as a flagship, I know. However. I am entrusting a task to you, which I think would benefit you greatly. And I wouldn't ask this upon you if I did not believe you would be able to do it. Nowaki has had a bit more experience and she's confident in not letting her fleet down. I believe you have that in you as well, even with your remodel."
Shigure     Shigure sighs gently... "I'll let you down, but... I'll do my best." she replies, nodding a little.
Nagato     "I know you will do your best. Now, head down to the docks, get a refreshing bath and I want you training all day today." Nagato turns around, looking at the model ship... "You're dismissed."
Shigure     Shigure nods, stands and salutes, before turning on her heels and walking out of the room.
