[HE KINDA WANTED TO SEE HIM THROW IT if only because it'd be a nice excuse to show off and teleport the rock mid-trajectory behind William so it'd hit him instead.]
Hmm, angels, demons, gods... they're all just words humans created to try and explain that which they can't understand. But for simplicity's sake, you can think of me as a demon!
Honestly, I was sure you would have guessed after I gave you my name! I've been rather fortunate that so few among the refugees are familiar with the story of Faust.
[He might still leave himself open for a honestly deserved skull cracking in the future.]
Well of course they are. They're only so different at the end of the day. But Demon fits you either way I'd say.
And a name could mean any number of things in a place like this, now couldn't it? People come from all times and places in this world. And yes, luck you, that so many of them don't know about a stupid morality tale.
[He frowned, still juggling the rock one handed.] Faust, really though?
[That wink is annoying oh god. He's on the edge of throwing the rock actually. Just a little more. It's honestly amazing how long he's held out.]
Well fine Mr. Faust. It's no concern of mine what wretched name you go by.
[Though through the haze of anger, those distant memories of Solomon's are telling him that this man, is wholly unfamiliar. A new demon, like Gilles de Rais then?]

Now, the other name I go by here, Mephisto Pheles-- the number of people I've managed to fool with that one is just embarrassing!
[BEHOLD: Demon McFakename.]
no subject
[And yet a further non-reveal now. That actual almost offends William in it's blatant simplicity.]
That's ridiculous. So are you saying some people here know you as Faust and others as Pheles? What a scam artist!

[WINKY FACE]
And really, it hardly matters to me what people call me. I've gone by so many names over the years, I've nearly lost track of just how many there are!

You sure are smug looking though.
