Since we're all from different worlds and cultures I think there are a few things we should probably get sorted out as a group. First thing should probably be how to address each other. Go ahead and write your name/title/what you want to be called, your gender identifier if that's important to you, and pronouns to use for you.


Kai, he/him

"If something seems relevant." About their fates? Likel not. Pending stories, if he could pick up on anything, that might be allowable. Magnus is going to keep being stymied too! Every primarch suffered from one particular problem, inherited likely directly from their father - weakness was to be hidden, asking for help is all but unthinkable. Sanguinius balked at people knowing about the red thirst, Guilliman didn't dare breathe word of exactly how much goes awry in ten thousand years, Magnus already knows the flesh change isn't as cured as he'd hoped..

Curze is no different, save perhaps in already being painfully aware reaching out does nothing. He intended to. Fulgrim was ... as close to a friend as he had. Maybe he was wrong about that impending betrayal. If he couldn't trust the Phoenician, then who could he trust?

The brothers caught here with him in this library??

Experiments had connotations. And it would be pointless besides. "I'm not much interested in being a test subject to your idle curiosity, brother."

magnus is the "no take, only throw" meme but with secrets and other primarchs letting him help

That does mean what is, and isn't, relevant is largely on Konrad to determine -- but Magnus will take that response. Konrad is not one of his Corvidae to be ordered around.

It's still frustrating. Even knowing that it is exactly how each and every one of them has always behaved when confronted with cooperation with his brothers, even having heard many of their painful secrets spilled out in the garden not so long ago, it's frustrating. Why can they not trust each other? Why must even their most positive relationships eventually curdle to disagreement or failure?

Why can't he just be allowed to help?

He -- wonder of wonders -- covers his face with one hand briefly, as Curze responds. "Think of it as a trial as might be done by an apothecary," he says, after a moment. "Not to satisfy my curiosity about your condition, but to find an appropriate treatment for it. One that returns your independence to you, so you do not have to rely on any of us hovering over you, or poking or prying into your well-being."

Maybe if he tries putting himself more firmly in Konrad's mindset?? (Does he even want to be there?)

well at least one knows his sekrits!!

Putting oneself into Curze's mindset is an absolutely terrible idea. If he's this way, it's because he was designed to be. Perhaps it gave him a greater appreciation for the suffering he inflicted on others, being so acutely familiar with pain himself. Perhaps knowing the very worst others can do made him reliably less likely to be too lenient and allow a criminal to slip away to strike again later. "..And what, precisely, did you have in mind?"

He knows he is how he is on purpose, exactly the way Sanguinius is the way he is meant to be. Attempting to fix it outside his own legion seemed, in some strange way, disobedient to the Emperor's intentions. It's uncomfortable, almost the same way the idea that Magnus of all people had somehow just failed to notice what he was, was equally uncomfortable.
