[He's surprised she doesn't ask, but he's sure it's not that she doesn't want to know. Really, it's debatable whether she'd even believe him about the agreement he made with Izumo. But the one with Shima, heck, she could probably ask the boy himself and get an answer.]
Hmm... I suppose if I were to choose an ideal situation, then I would have you act accordingly based on how a person knows me. Really, it's not all that different from back home.
As Faust, I'm more or less how I presented myself in Assiah among humans -- though with the little addition of being a famous wizard, seeing as there's no need to hide my powers in a world already filled with magic.
But anyone who knows me as Mephisto is already someone who knows of my true nature, be it that I'm a demon, or simply not a very nice person. [UNDERSTATEMENT.]
There are a few exceptions of course... such as those who know me as Faust, but are aware of "Mephisto" as a separate person, a certain young lady who knows me as Mephisto but is unaware that I am a demon, and a very select few who know all about my little game here.
Naturally, the exceptions are the ones I'd want you to be the most careful around. But generally speaking-- as long as you only speak ill of "Mephisto" and leave "Faust" alone, we shouldn't have any problems.
[...and really, he might even encourage her to badmouth him as Mephisto, if only because that's the sort of reputation he's having fun building under that name.]
