An Empty Void To Fill

[Namari Lovelle]

Walter ignored the punch, beginning to strangle Phillis. Namari ran to Walter, tackling him to the ground with all the force she had. they both rolled for a moment, before practically beginning to wrestle on the ground. "Walter! Calm down!" She yelled. He managed to grab the woman by her neck, and flung her againsed the wall.

She gasped for air as his grip tightened. He barked, "Don't get involved!" Namari tried ripping Walter's hand off her neck, but it wouldn't work. And her swords had dropped to the ground as they were wrestling. Walter was pissed. He wasn't even thinking. The demon part of him took over completely, but even worse now. At least the demon wouldn't try to kill his friends. This was his pure evil attacking them.

[Phillis Von Christ]

Phillis wiped the blood off of his hands, as he grabbed his claymore. His ear blood ran down his neck and onto his jacket, he didn't even care. Calmly, he walked towards Walter, and set the blade against the mans neck, penetrating the first few layers of skin . "One more fucking move and I won't hesitate to kill you. Seriously. Calm the fuck down."

[Namari Lovelle]

Walter looked at Phillis from the corner of his eye, a raised eyebrow. Namari was still struggling to breath, her face starting to become white. After a few moments, Walter made hardly any movement at all, just quickly opening his fingers up. The elven woman dropped to the ground, gasping for air. After a bit of coughing, she got up, grabbed her red sword and pointed it at Walter as well.

"Thank you, Phillis," She nodded. Walter backed away from Phillis' sword, a trail of blood going down his neck. He turned and faced them. "You expect to talk shit about Denzel to me and not get hurt, Phillis? You're an idiot. I don't know why the hell you're king." He spoke with his teeth clenched. But, he put up his hands anyways. "So, am I kicked out of the knights or something?" Walter chuckled. "I'm the one who killed Goria, remember."

"You're still a knight. You will be watched at all times, and I'll get Dante to put a spell on you to stay human. Until then you're staying in one of the cells under the tower." Namari confirmed with her lips pursed. Walter shrugged. "Alright, I suppose."

He changed back into his human form. And with that, tears filled his eyes again. "...I'm...sorry...both of you...I really shouldn't be around Phillis for the time being."

[Phillis Von Christ]

Phillis rolled his eyes. "Whatever." he said, not accepting the apology. He was pissed, now he'd have to re-bandage his ear after he'd already waited so long for it to stop bleeding over every little touch. He put his claymore away and glared at Walter. He thought of so many callous things to say, but decided to not say any of them.

"Now, if you're done wasting my time, I'd recommend you leave. Now."

[Namari Lovelle]

Namari called out some guards to go put Walter in a cell. He went without complaint, without struggle, just with his head down. After he left, Namari turned to Phillis. "...he doesnt mean it, you know...he just handles grief much different than others."

[Phillis Von Christ]

Phillis shrugged. " I know. He just really, really pisses me off. It's not like she's dead or anything, she left him. I might actually be sympathetic if it wasn't his fault."

[Namari Lovelle]

"Phillis, if Dante left you because you hadn't seen him in a while, how would you act? I'm sure Walter is incredibly upset that it is his fault, but at the same time I think it's both their faults. Neither made an effort," Namari shrugged.

[Phillis Von Christ]

Phillis shrugged. " I never really get to see Dante anyways, we make the effort, but we're both really busy." he defended himself. " If he left me, I wouldn't blame him. Denzel and Walter just never clicked, I never once saw them happy together. They always fought. I don't know, I guess that's just how their relationship worked but it looked miserable to me. They're better off alone."

[Namari Lovelle]

"I've always seen Walter happy with her," Namari looked surprised. "I'm not sure about Denzel, but Walter's worse off without her."

[Phillis Von Christ]

"Well, Walter needs to stop acting like a little girl. It's just a break up. Jesus." Phillis said, he clearly wasn't even going to try to understand the mans feelings.

[Namari Lovelle]

"...Phillis. You really need to understand it. Saying that it's just a break up...they've been together a long time. Hell, I'd probably be the same as him if I didn't have a better control of my emotions," Namari frowned. "You have to think of it as if you were in his place..."

[Phillis Von Christ]

Phillis brushed his hair back with his hand, a bit of it was matted down from the blood. " I'm too selfish to even try to understand. Let's be honest, I just don't care about how Walter feels. Maybe in the past I would have, but not anymore."

[Namari Lovelle]

"Why's that?" Namari asked, rubbing her neck. A bruise had begun to form already, in the shape of a hand mark.

[Phillis Von Christ]

"Because Walter used to tolerable. Now he's just a raging ass." Phillis shrugged. " He doesn't give a shit about me, I don't give a shit about him. Easy as that."

[Namari Lovelle]

"He cares, Phillis," Namari smiled gently. "His demon form might disagree with you often, but his human form does like and respect you."

[Phillis Von Christ]

Phillis laughed. "Okay, yeah sure. You have a point but still. I hardly ever see his human form these days which, like demonstrated earlier, can still be rather annoying."

[Namari Lovelle]

"Only sometimes," she chuckled. "I hope you don't mind that I kept him as a knight...we don't have too many these days."

[Phillis Von Christ]

Phillis shrugged. " I don't care. He's a good fighter, at least."

[Namari Lovelle]

Namari nodded. "Oh, I've seen a stange little girl wandering the castle, and she told me that she lives here...who is she, if you know her?"

[Phillis Von Christ]

"Oh, Alice?" Phillis asked, surprised Namari had run into her. He looked both ways before stating "She's my daughter."
