I've found that a particularly withering stare as well as an insult about their lack of breeding does the trick for me.

Can I still visit even without it being about business? Need help drinking that whiskey?

I will teach anyone dealing with unwanted advances the fine art of stabbing for free. I'm a shit teacher, but not too bad with daggers.

I've found that developing a reputation for stabbing the bearers of unwanted advances has done wonders for staving of their clumsy attempts. That said, I cannot educate all of Arx in such a manner, but if anybody is having any such problems as... oh, I don't know? Asking somebody else's beloved into a private room and demanding they strip before trying to kiss at their neck despite being clearly told there was no interest. Well, just let me know and I'll take them into private and have a few choice words about consent.
That was a very specific example, wasn't it? Curious thing, that.
You know who you are.

I recommend knives. Match unwanted physical contact with unwanted physical contact.

Since I guess it needs to be said: If a woman desires to be touched intimately, to be groped or manhandled, petted or pawed, invited to share someones bed, or even to just be kissed I think it ought to go without saying that 1. A reasonable amount of time between initially meeting and developing any amorous intent should be first established. 2. Extensive research and a firm understanding of the womans reciprocating feelings should be made and had. - And really that's it. One might think that these were fairly easy concepts to grasp but then One would be dissapointed after any small amount of time spent in Arx. While I could never claim to be prudish by any sense of the term, ever... by anyone ... I am nearly alarmed by the amount of intimate attention that I have been recieving and were it *just* me, I might frown at myself for being so crass as to publish this in a journal, but after speaking to a few women I realize it is not *just* me, but a spreading contagion affecting the populous as a whole. So I ask simply that a little bit of graciousness, patience and good manners are put into effect whenever someone has the urge to shove their tongue down another persons throat, or grab their breast in the baths. Thank you.

Silly? The High Lord dares to call me silly. I find it silly to brag about being able to toss about a Princess half your weight. Superstitions and our other business aside, I will still drink you under the table you ass. I mean, your ass-ness. Smooches.

This Princess is a nice person, and seems to like collecting books as well as drinks like me. I am hopeful that we can be friends. Also she had a drink which I didn't have for my collection.

It seems to be Autumn at this point. I like the weather change, and I will likely be wearing a new outfit for the winter perhaps. I think I will also take time to develop new kahve techniques for drinks to make.

I have personally seen the silly superstitious things from the North kick some serious ass. These forces are not to be underestimated. But instead, respected and revered.

Any and all, given recent threats, that care to still regard the North as 'silly' and ' superstitious ' are welcome to visit with me. I will even share my best whisky.

The guard you assigned to me will likely be beyond miserable being assigned to me. Just saying. I've had a decided change of heart, and look forward to the challenge of having him accompany me through the swampiest of swamps and see just how well he can climb through shattered ruins to see if he can keep up. Maybe he'll learn a thing or two about history.
Oh! And my mission to the far north in the bitter cold? Brrr. Hope he has warm clothes!

A fire demon attacked Mason yesterday, and completely burned out one of his eyes; many others in the city were hurt as well. Trust me when I say that when I find those responsible, there are no words for what I might do or say. To say that I'm angry is monumental understatement. No supposed guard will be able to stop me.
But, for now, I content myself with being relieved that my husband is alive, and that my daughter still has a father. He is accepting visitors in the House of Solace, though do have a care. He's in a great deal of pain.

As House Kennex continues to go through the difficult transition from an economy based on slavery to one of better moral principles, I would like to commend them for the good things that they've done. It's far too easy to see the turmoil and upheaval such a change has caused but all good things are hard earned and won with determination and veracity. The Marquis and his family's intentions were good and wholesome. They wished to abolish thralldom in their lands and make freedom the rule of law in their domain. While there might have been a better way, hindsight is everything.
We make mistakes, we learn from them and we grow. The peerage has made it's opinions on the matter abundantly clear and the charity and hard work that the Liberators and the other Houses of the Compact have done cannot be understated. Everyone has come together in this crisis and done what we all set out to do. Put the people before ourselves. To forgive when you can condemn, to embrace when you could castigate, to show solidarity when we could divide. These are the things that make us human, that make us better than the enemies of the Compact that still work toward tearing us apart. While I am not saying that we should forget, I am saying that we can all walk with the Gods and help one another up when we stumble and fall. Let us guide one another back to the flock when we've lost our way. House Kennex and the family of Marquis Ford Kennex have suffered enough. I hope we all strive to master our passions and love our fellow man with an open heart and if we cannot then at the very least let us refrain from spreading the darkness of hatred.

You say you'll never belong but you have family that loves you Vanora. While I do understand feeling apart from everything I think you have handled it much better than I. We live to serve and that you might recognize that and act on it so naturally for the benefit of the people is a testament to your lineage and the teachings of the Thirteenth. Your strength in these trying times inspires me. May the Gods bless you and may He always be your guiding light in the darkness.

I asked my priest overseeing my journal this day if he was glad the fire was not here in the archives and he glared at me. Do not worry dear priest. I will be glad for you.
