Scene #5284: The Hounds and the Admiral's Present

Owner	Pose
Shigure	It's been a while since Yuudachi tried to go AWOL. Her punishment detail has been filled and the contrite Destroyer has finally been allowed off-base again... as long as she's escorted. Thus, here she is, walking through one of the nearby shopping districts with Shigure beside her. The pair have been browsing shops, and a few things have caught their attention, which now sit in shopping bags hung around their arms. The blonde then stops dead in her tracks, making the brunette pause and turn. "Yuu-chan, what's wr--- oooooh." The exchange a look, before bustling inside. Later, on returning to the base, the pair drop off their own things, and make sure their prize is securely wrapped before they make their way through to the Admiral's office. It's not normal for them to go there uncalled, but it's with a knock that they arrive, and wait to be allowed in.
Nagato	It's been an uneventful day in the office... Akashi is working on seperating the metal from flesh along with a couple of medics, Nagato's up in her office, fiddling with the Augma on her ear, reading through paperwork and signing off a few things. It was poised to be a day of work, then logging in to get things done in ALO then bed. A typical day. Though, the thing that breaks up the monotony is the knock at her door. "I'm... not expecting anyone. Enter." she calls out, "And I hope it's important, there's work that needs to be done around the base."
Shigure	Yuudachi and Shigure enter, the former leading with a large, brown 'gift wrapped' parcel, the latter closing the door. They both bow and say in near-perfect unison. "Sorry for the intrusion." The parcel is then gently set on the desk, in a clear spot. "We like, saw this and thought you'd like it, Admiral." says Yuudachi, stepping back again. Shigure nods in agreement. "Please accept it as a gift from the Fifth Strike Fleet."
Nagato	"Yuudachi? Shigure?" comes the open question from the Admiral as she watches the two destroyers come in and place that package upon her desk. "Mmm? No apologies nessecary, I'm glad you two are doing well." she looks down at the package curiously, "A gift from the Fifth Strike Fleet?" she looks back up to the two destroyers, "I accept the gift, you two and the Fifth Strike Fleet as a whole have my thanks." And with that, a simple twist of the wrist picks up a letter opener and it's getting set to work upon the package to open it!'
Shigure	As the package is opened, it reveals a long, black trenchcoat. It has fittings and latch points specifically to accomodate Nagato's rigging, and the Paladin's insignia on the right epaulette, and the Hikari Defense Alliance insignia on the left, as well as the Admiral rank insignia over the left upper chest area. "We found the coat in a shop that caters for Elites.. and they've had some minor contracts with Akashi for replacement uniforms before... when we said we wanted it for you, they gave us a discount and offered to properly outfit it for you..." says Shigure softly, watching the battleship's reaction.
Nagato	Nagato's strikes are careful, precise and calculated for maximum opening power. She sets the knife down, finishes unwrapping the present and she pulls out the trenchcoat, standing up to get a good look at it. The rank is there, the Paladin's insignia is there... the Defense Alliance is there. She just stares at it, there's not a shred of emotion right now. She looks between the two Destroyers then the trenchcoat and moves to slip it on, adjusting the fit gently before walking towards a mirror. "Yuudachi." she starts. "Shigure." there's a barest hint of a smile in the mirror, then she turns to face the two destroyers, "How do I look, then?" she questions, making a pose... "I think it looks wonderful. Good weight, compliments my rigging outfit. You two have a good eye."
Shigure	Yuudachi salutes. "You look like our Admiral." she replies. Shigure nods agreement. "Thank you for the compliment, Admiral. We hopped you'd like it."
Nagato	Nagato gives a nod, "I think I shall incorporate this into my current rigging and looks for the foreseeable future." she gives the two destroyers a thankful bow. "You two have my thanks, I do like it." it's only when the Admiral gets up, that the smile has widened. See, the battleship /can/ show a smile!
