It seemed this day was filled with running errands back and forth. Yuzuki had to remember to appoint an assistant or two, not because she didn't want to do them herself, but it was inconvenient for her to be away from her office with so many important things going on. She requested daily reports on her many construction efforts going on and she of course had to be where people could find her. She made a mental note to herself that she should remember to ask around for an assistant. She wondered though if anyone would be willing to take up such a busy position. 

As she pondered this, lost in thought and tossing a small scroll between her hands, she was hardly paying attention to her surroundings as she approached the office building. Thus, when she reached out to open the door, was surprised when it instead flew open from the other side. Despite herself, she ended up gasping when the first thing she saw was a tall masked figure in the doorway. Her eyes widened as she was startled for a moment, but once the figure began to speak, her brain processed who was standing before her and she calmed down. She sighed in relief and was about to return the greeting to the familiar puppeteer and ask his business, but he continued to speak through his greeting, stating he had bad news. It made sense, considering she didn't often see Syu-lerne in person like this. As he spoke, she listened intently to his words, the crossing of her arms an a scowl showing her anger about the news. Of course she had questions, ones the puppeteer probably didn't have answers to. Thankfully, the man was adept at gathering information and so she didn't interrupt. When he was finished speaking, her eyes met one of his hidden behind the mask he wore. 

She was silent only a few moments, processing the information and making a decision of how to proceed. As she thought, she stepped past him and waved, a gesture for him to follow her to her office. By the time they reached it, she had taken all the time she needed. 

[color=crimson]"As usual Syu-lerne, you are quick to take action without needing my permission or guidance. Something I admire in you. That being said, you made the right move contacting the Yoru commanders."[/color] she said, moving across the room and placing the small scroll she held onto her desk. She didn't turn to face him though, just crossed her arms back at her chest and stared out the window before her. [color=crimson]"Pirates attacking a small, defenseless, and developing village and Kirigakure not behind it? Unusual to say the least. Hn, they they are a bunch of fools to attack us without a nation backing them up."[/color]

She turned to him then to give her orders. [color=crimson]"Tell the Commanders this is going to be primarily a search and rescue mission. The priority is to save as many lives as we can and get the civilians out of immediate danger. Once the village residents are safe and secured, pursue the Pirates. We have two other small towns at the waters edge and we must assume they both will be targets. Until we figure out the reason behind this attack, we need to take as many precautions as possible. Notify the shinobi who are stationed at the other two villages to be wary. They may be ordered to evacuate the people or prepare to receive reinforcements. Depending on the situation at this village, I will decide which orders will be given"[/color] 

Yuzuki paused again then and clicked her teeth, thinking she had to take steps to further protect these small villages. 

[color=crimson]"That's all for now."[/color] she said, turning again and going to sit behind her desk. Immediately she pulled out a new scroll and threw it open, taking ink to it as she began to write furiously. As she was writing, she spoke once more but glanced up to make sure he was still there, the look in her eyes were fierce. She too was very passionate about the protection of her people. [color=crimson]"I don't think I need to tell you to make sure these Pirates don't get away. The only one I need alive is their leader. Bring whoever it is back here so he and I can have a little... talk. You're dismissed."[/color] she finished, returning her focus to what she was writing.
