The very next day, Magnus, trying to rid his mind of the cannot-be-unseen results of his research, awoke and walked out of his chambers. As he walked, he could not help but notice clusters of people, most composed of members of the Sisters of Silence, glancing at him from time to time and blushing.
Confused as he was, as Fulgrim and Sanguinius had always been the ones they'd fawned upon, he ignored them, praying that it would end soon enough. To make it worse, the sound of suppressed giggles seemed to follow him around, and everyone else, even his brothers and sisters seemed to be avoiding him.
In fact, the only one of his siblings whom he'd seen all day was Konrad Curze, who had looked away from him as he'd passed. If Magnus didn't know better, he would have sworn that the Night Lords' leader had looked almost... smug. Yes, that was the word. Smug.
Finally tiring of the odd attention and the giggles, he strode up to the nearest group of Sisters of Silence he could find and discovered them to be clustered around what seemed to be copies of some document. Ignoring the blushes and his growing feeling of dread, he asked for a copy of whatever they were reading.
Quickly glancing through, he found a copy of the work involving Lorgar, Horus, and himself which had inspired his initial nauseating investigation into the mechanics of yaoi. Unable to comprehend the sudden interest, he flipped to the back, only to find himself staring at what appeared to be - horror of horrors! - explicit photographic illustrations for the text, ostensibly to "improve upon the reader experience," complete with accompanying quote and page number.
Suddenly, everything that had transpired that day made terrifying sense, and the look Curze had given him... It was a well known fact Curze routinely documented goings on in the palace, though for unknown reasons, and could be readily found with camera in hand. If there had been photographs attached to that disgusting work...
The ensuing scream of horror and rage could be heard for miles around.
