A few days later, Travis was enjoying a nice breakfast in the company of Lara, Velvet and the pretty knight Goldmary.
The breakfast that morning?
...An avalanche of pancakes.

He was not even bothering with the knife and fork... just dunking the disks whole in a bucket of syrup and then a bucket of melted butter before shoving it inside his mouth whole his jaw even unhinging like a snake to take in multiple cakes at once.
1 stone in metamorphosis to give myself the ability to unhinge my jaw to stuff more pancakes in my skull.

Meanwhile hidden room time again.

He was positively devouring pancakes almost as fast as Erina, Alice, young Henrietta and James could bring them over, much to the fascination of the girls sharing his table.
"...It's... almost mesmerizing", Lara said, unblinking.
"I think Travis-sama loves pancakes", Velvet joked.
Opening the hidden room's door revealed... a sort of metallic bunker-like warehouse?

He took one big flapjack, folded it up, stuffed two fistfuls of bacon into it... dunkd it in syrup, dunked it again in the melted butter and chowed TF down punctating his satisfaction with a comically loud belch that could be heard all the way back in Japan.
20 stones in dur to unleash said belch.
-------------------
"Interesting..." He went inside the bunker to see what was inside.
20 stones in Int.

"Jesus Christ, Trav. You trying to break all the windows in the palace?" James let out from the kitchen.
"...Okay, now you're over-doing it", Henrietta scolded gently as she tapped her finger on his shoulder. "Keep it down, please", she requested, making the others giggle a bit.
As he stepped inside the warehouse, he realized... the entire place was FILLED to the brim with thousands... no, tens of thousands cardboard boxes, themselves filled with countless MREs from pretty much all countries who ever used such things. He had most menus and versions ever made in fairly large numbers, including the oldest ones ever, but all were in pristine, prime condition, as though they had been made that very morning.

He then pulled her into his lap. "Give me cuddles then." He pouted.

"Not bad." He said storing all the food away in the gate.

She smiled, cuddling up to him without hesitation. "...Alright.♥"
The door did open again!
...Revealing a small closet like room. With a HUGE, heavy gun looking sort of like a short barrels minigun, but not quite.

He gently wrapped his tail around her ankles, plucking off her moccasins.
4 in agl to deshoe her with my tail.
--------------------
He carefully walked up to the gun, and examined it slowly picking it up.

He easily took off her shoes; unsurprisingly, she didn't exactly oppose the effort.
"Are... you still hungry, or will that be enough?" Alice asked as she returned from the kitchen.
Upon closer examination, Travis figured out the weapon to be the insurance agent Milly Thompson's signature 'Stun-Gun'... a 216 lbs concussion gun firing X-shaped claw-like projectile designed to 'stun opponents', but so strong it actually could knock over a truck in one shot. It had one heck of a recoil, too.
OOC: Gained:
-Stun-Gun (+4, 2x damage or Limited AP, Normal and Stun damage, Range 3; Requires Str 4 to carry and use effectively. Weighs 216 lbs and fires X-shaped claw-like concussion projectiles; holds 8 projectiles at once. Milly Thompson's signature weapon, supposedly designed to 'stun opponents' without killing them, but more than dangerous enough to do the latter if one is careless, or intends to.)

"That'll be enough for the morning." He said petting her feet with his tail.
-------------------
He pocketed the weapon and proceeded back outside.

"Very well♫", she said cheerfully as she took his plate, glass and utensils away, while Henrietta kissed him affectionately in response. "Enjoy your day."
Meanwhile, the other Travis came out of the now closed hidden room, noticing Tieria fast walking out of this corridor into the main hallway towards his office.

He nodded and took Henrietta to the couch to lay down with her on top of him.
-----------------
"Whoa there." He said embracing her from behind. "Where's the fire?"

"You sure you didn't have too much?" Henrietta teased him. "Even for you, that was a lot of pancakes.♥"
"Oh!" she let out in cute surprise; it wasn't often that the efficient and hard-working girl was taken off her game by anyone, but when it happened, it was usually Travis. "...Ah, well, actually, I was looking for you. I got a call from the prime minister, calling for our aid", she explained.
It had been a while since that had happened. Tensions across the globe were mostly low thanks to his family and organization's active presence in the world, but it wasn't like there was never any trouble, either.

"I'll be fine... I can just nap it off." He said kissing her. "How are the twins?" He asked.
------------------------
"I see... What does he need me for?" He asked taking the call if offered.

(OOC: They're twins? ...Didn't know that. Gonna add it to my notes.)
"They're doing great. Both or them are just incredible at magic, honestly. They're probably better than I am already, even without their other powers. Oh, did Iris tell you how good she's getting at playing the guitar? Acoustic. She's really, really good at it."
She indeed suggested for him to take the call.
"Thank you for your time, Mr. Howlet. I'm sorry to call so early in the morning, but time is of the essence", the prime minister said.
"...One of our agents has been captured by a terrorist cell and taken away. Some of my best men raided their hideout, but there was nothing left; they vanished and left nothing behind. We're naturally afraidd for her safety, but should they manage to make her talk, she could reveal very dangerous secrets which they could use against us. Needless to say, it would also make her life worthless to them the moment she talks, and they are not afraid to get rid of loose ends. We also have no idea where they might have gone, so I decided we needed your assistance, badly."
