When Slaanesh noticed the changes within the Segmentum Pacificus, His cold, merciless gaze merely swept casually over the developments there. Then, without hesitation, He stopped paying attention and continued His frenzied plundering of Aeldari souls.

In the face of the enormous commotion caused by the Art Student this time, Slaanesh remained extraordinarily indifferent and unconcerned. In His eyes, these were nothing more than trivial matters.
