Meanwhile, on the other side of the rocky wall was an assembly of mostly naked men inspecting the wall for any cracks in its “defense”. This had gone on for a few minutes before a Horvin man strolled up to Rhein and gave him a salute. [b]”They’ve got it packed tight, Commander. Not a peephole to be found. Whadda-we do now?”[/b] the Horvin reported, prompting a sigh from his “Commander”. With the option of finding an easy peephole out of the way, it was going to be a hard sell to get everyone a good look before the ladies on the other side left. And that was even taking into consideration the fact that there very well might not have been any girls on the other side at the moment. As Rhein had noted shortly after waking from his slumber, it was already night time, and the moon shed its light down on the hot springs. 
[color=Silver]”Round up the men. I’ve got a plan, but it’s gonna take some work. And some patience for everybody. But don’t worry. Commander Rhein’s gonna make sure everyone gets an eyeful.”[/color]  Rhein stated, giving the Horvin a thumbs up before the diminutive man scampered off to go inform the others that they were going to have some new directives.

Once everyone had gathered up, Rhein observed their number, taking stock of the heights of each occupant especially. [color=Silver]”Alright. We’ve had a minor setback so far in underestimating the enemy defense, but we’ve got another way. It’s a special technique performed by many before us in the pursuit of their goals…,”[/color] he pointed to the top of the rock wall, [color=Silver]“We’re going to form a ladder. It’s a risky move, but if we can pull it off, everyone should be able to get a peep in. We’re gonna need a scout, though. Someone to test the quality of our human ladder, as well as to determine whether we’ll be wasting our time or not.”[/color] Rhein explained, causing a wave of whispers to make its way through the assembly, only for one person to speak up.

[color=AntiqueWhite]”I’ll be the scout, Sir!”[/color] raising a hand to get Rhein’s attention was a bunnyboy. He stood out amongst most of the crowd as he was the only youngster in the hot spring. And, frankly, he almost looked a bit too innocent. 
[color=Silver]”What’s your name, pal?”[/color] Rhein stared intently at the too-pretty beastboy, gray eye narrowed as he observed his posture. 
[color=AntiqueWhite]”L-Laurence, Sir!”[/color]
Rhein clasped the boy on the shoulder, having crossed the distance while Laurence was busy being dumbstruck. [color=Silver]”Well, Laurence, we’re counting on you. Form up, men! The boy’s gonna take point!”[/color] At Rhein’s order, the men of the Hot Spring Demon Gesellschaft began to form the human ladder, wobbling every so often when the stack started to get particularly high. The sight of so many people working towards a goal was always awe-inspiring, and even Rhein clapped for his “subordinates” as he sat on the rocks watching the men form the ladder. Once they had finally gotten to an appropriate height and seemed to have stabilized, young Laurence made his way up. He was a scrawny kid, and the heat of the spring, combined with the physical activity had caused the men of the hot spring to work up a sweat. But Laurence would not be deterred, for the rest of the Gesellschaft had placed their hopes in him. If he let them down now, he wouldn’t ever be able to face them again! While it was a slippery climb, the bunnyboy managed to make his way to the top of the ladder. To the view of the Promised Land. 

Ears twitching with excitement, the rosey-cheeked bunnyboy observed the expanse of the female hot spring. As the scout, he’d have to make sure that he had a lot to report back to the boss. [color=AntiqueWhite]”Fuwa---!”[/color] Laurence had to stifle his scream with his hands, having become thoroughly frightened by the sight before him. While there was indeed a pair of beauties in the spring, they were practically overshadowed entirely by the hulking monstrosity that occupied the hot spring with them. Already he felt that he was letting the commander and the rest of the Gesellschaft down by virtue of the fact that he may very well have alerted the girls to their plans. At this point, the combination of being startled mixed with his feelings of sorrow, prompting the young beastboy to shed tears uncontrollably. Laurence forced himself to descend the man-ladder through his sobbing before running to Rhein once his feet touched the ground. 
[color=AntiqueWhite]”S-s-s-sir…. Scout L-Laurence repooorting *sniff* th-th-at we have targets in the spring. B-but… There’s a monster, sir.”[/color] Laurence reported, words interrupted by the sniffles and hiccups of the youth’s crying. Suddenly, the boy would feel a pat on his head before looking back up to the Commander, his eyes having been glue to the floor in embarrassment. 

[color=Silver]”You did great, Laurence. We might have subjected you to too much, too early but you handled it as best you could. Keep it up and you could be the commander of this unit someday.”[/color] Rhein remarked, ruffling the boy’s hair before making his way to the ladder himself. He could swear he heard some loud noises earlier while the men were chanting, but did that really mean there was a monster? Probably not. Maybe just some especially ugly woman, more likely. As Laurence collapsed to his knees from exhaustion,  Rhein made his way up the man ladder, making his way to the top in no time. [color=Silver]”Holy shit. What the hell is up with [i]that[/i]?”[/color] Rhein muttered, observing the humongous woman that was in the bath with what appeared to be Estelle (a welcome, but ultimately too-familiar face) and an Eldrin woman, whom Rhein had a sneaking suspicion he may have met before….
Regardless, Rhein now understood why Laurence was crying. In fact, Rhein almost wanted to cry himself at the sight of this gigantic woman ruining what would otherwise be an aesthetically pleasant scene of two girls just enjoying the hot springs together. Though, perhaps he was already beginning to linger atop the man-ladder for too long...
