[Lenore Lovelace]

Jesse gripped a bluntly tightly between his lips, attempting to remain focused on the task at hand, unable to shake the feeling of dread that had settled in the pit of his stomach. While it was not often that members of public society had such a beef with the carnival that they would do something to seek satisfaction, the Carnies were actually known to be quite reasonable when it came to addressing any problems which might come along. The Geek was obviously not pleased that people would have enough disrespect to come in his home and do whatever they wanted. No one made him look like a fool.
