"Coffee" Fury nodded, "black. And that's the job." he shrugged a little.

Ceres poured him a mug and then opened the small wooden barrel and scooped the warm rice into a bowl before pasting it and his mug of coffee to him. She scooped herself a bowl and slowly drink the miso soup she had prepared. She wasn't very hungry. She hadn't been very hungry for several days now. Usually when she was stressed out, she couldn't help BUT eat. Her grandfather always knew something was wrong when she wasn't hungry.

"JIM! Jim, there's rice balls in the kitchen!"
"Awe sweet! <3"

A few voices that past Fury's office.

Fury smiled a little, "You made some for them as well I take it?" he commented, enjoying his own food. It was really rather good.

Ceres blushed a little, "Well I may have measured too much rice when I started so I didn't want it to go to waste.

"Fair enough" he agreed. It was nice to have some proper food for once.

After Fury had finished and Ceres had poured him another cup of coffee she asked, "Fury... I may have also done this in hopes you might gain a request I have..." She began cautiously.

Fury wiped the edges of his mouth, "Hm? What is it?"

She looked down at her lap, "I'd like to accompany Horatio to Genosha. I need to speak with Max. If that's alright, that is."

"The Genoshians aren't a fan of Shield, but the X-squad is reliable. They can oversee your safety on the island" Fury nodded, "I'll set it up."

"Thank you, Director Fury." She got up and started setting the dishes on tray. "Now if you'll excuse me, I have a rather large pile of dishes to clean."

"Sounds like my cue to do paperwork" Fury chuckled, getting up himself, "thank you, for the meal. It was perfect" he smiled at her before heading out.

"Oh stop." She blushed, "I'm really out of praicse. But thank you for the compliment." She turned and headed into the kitchen. After she cleaned all the dishes, she turned to the huge pile of rice balls. She sighed, and made up a several trays and taking them to all the departments on the ship.

Needless to say but then end of the day, Ceres was all tuckered out. "You in here Horatio?" She asked, hearing a radio show playing.

"Present" Horatio replied, laying on the bed.

"Timbeeeeeeerrrrrr." She flomped down beside him, "...I'm so tired... I must have walked the heilcarrier 3 times. Couldn't find any of the golf carts... But it was worth it, Fury approved... Rice balls?" She asked hold the plate up.

"Sounds good" Horatio held his hand out for one.

"Colder... Warmer... Warmer... HOT! ON FIRRRRE!" She stated as Horatio reached out to take a rice ball. "Tell me what you think... is it good?"

"You know most people just hand these things to me" he commented before taking a bite and smiling, "delicious"

"But it's fun. And I like it when you succeed.... I'm glad you like them. Cause there's about... 50 more in the kitchen on level 3." She picked up one and nibbled on it. All that walking had stirred her hungry muscles. "So what were you listening to?" She asked.

"Just a commentary on Doctor Who" Horatio replied, "and I'm not sure how many would be left. I've been hearing many munchy people going passed"

"Well that's good. Cause I think I ended up making over 500... I'm really bad at portion sizes. ^^; But I'm glad everyone enjoyed them. They're all working so hard. They probably aren't eating right with all this intense over time."

"Mai does. I think she's the only one who knows how to keep her body and mind balanced." Horatio commented, "so. What brings you over here?"

"What? Do I need a reason to come hang out with my, cool, awesome big brother who's also a tardis?" She asked, poking him.

Horatio chuckled, "I guess I'm just not used to people coming to me without an agenda"

" Which reminds me," She pretended to pull out a book, "Hang out with my awesome good brother, check." She laughed. "So, you never had someone who just... wanted to hang out before?" She asked, almost sad at the thought of it.

"I don't exactly have a lot of friends" he pointed out, "and even so, it's never really been as though they could get a hold of me easily. So whenever someone did find me, it was for good reason."
