-Jenessa notices the lack of morale around camp recently. Shifty eyes, whispers of the possibility of leaving, odd new recruits, and strange occurrences. She offhandedly reminds everyone that treachery will be punished with death, which causes more than a few awkward glances. The situation with Alice was annoying and confusing for Jenessa, as she had little knowledge of the occult and whatever happened with her seemed very occult. She was worried because even if she was a weird sex-demon lady, she was always a relatively good egg and Jenessa had shared many drinks with her over the time since they had met. Then there's the shady mysterious benefactor... On one hand Jenessa's utterly ready to let Shemhazai take over as leader, leaving herself to just being a general and sticking to the tactics side of things, but on they other hand, it felt like they were just being, well... bought out in a way by some random weirdo they'd never even met. It didn't feel right, thus Jenessa still tried to keep a grasp on a bit of leadership. People know her, and they seem to respect her well enough, so she hoped this new chick wouldn't completely buy their trust away. All the stress lately has also caused Jenessa to start drinking even more than usual, and rather than the "Happy-Drunk" type she usually was, she started having more "Sad-Drunk" occasions.
-Elena eventually picked up a trail from the adventurer who killed Mercedes, leading to some sort of family ranch where the boy lived with his grandmother. They didn't exactly seem insanely rich or anything, but they did have a decently sized plot of land and even some girl they had hired to help tend to the ranch, who most likely watched over it while the boy and his grandmother were gone. With the possibility of profits, Elena figured that maybe this could be more than just a revenge mission at this point. When Elena told this information to Jenessa, she was told that they'd depart immediately after they get a group put together. Of course the prior volunteers had been Jenessa, Elena, Neve, and Trista. Jenessa hoped others could be swayed to her cause, but she wasn't planning on being patient, so they took only a short time gathering bandits before they departed. Jenessa was confident in "Operation Ranch Raid" as she called it, and and the thought of the possibility of failure never even crossed her mind. She only thought of how she was going to enjoy hacking the boy's head off with her axe like he had done to her friend...
