[Ah, so he's familiar with that story too? He should have expected as much, but it seems the story of Faust is far more common in other worlds than he thought. At least he has a good explanation on hand that fits nicely into his false persona here--]
[He stares for a moment before sighing, putting his hands on his hips and looking a little bit exasperated, the face of a man who has heard this accusation far too many times -- or at least, that's the impression he's aiming for.]
I suppose I should have expected as much, for you to be familiar with that story, all things considered... but I'm afraid you are mistaken. I happen to be Johann Faust the fifth. Any story you might be familiar with would be about my ancestor, and even those old tales hold little water.
The fifth? Ah then yes I do apologize. I understand very well what it's like to have a famous ancestor complicate your life long after death.
[All too well unfortunately. Solomon's awful, obnoxious shadow will probably never leave him. Granted, having the man's soul is a little more drastic than being just blood related.
Though he's also realizing that he said a little too much about himself and decides to just close the subject.]
But then, let's leave that aside, Mr. Faust, for both our sakes. Besides such things are nothing more than an interesting anecdote to speak of on occasion.
[Does he, now... well, there's an interesting tidbit to store for another day. But for now, he'll go along with the change of subject.]
Yes, that's true. And really, we ought to start making out way to Wyver! I know I'm not looking forward to another night of camping out here...
[Thankfully they aren't too far from Wyver from here, so William won't have to put up with "Faust" for much longer! And then they part ways because really who wants to deal with this guy longer than they have to??]
