[Mephisto walks for a little while, first down a crowded street, then to a more secluded one. Whether he notices Shima's presence or not, he's not going to give any indication one way or another.]
[--but seeing as they are under contract, yes, he has a vague idea that Shima is following him.]
[But at a certain point, once he's "alone", he crouches down on the ground and then leaps up into the air, gracefully landing down on a nearby rooftop. You'd think something like that would be more tiring than simply teleporting up there... but for him, it's a fun new enhancement he might as well try out, even if it's only purpose is to help his usual superhuman jumps look more like flight than simply jumping.]
[Of course, he's not so far away that he won't be visible, sitting up there with one knee pulled up to his chest. He takes a seat, running a hand up over his face and into his hair, bowing his head over his knee. It was a strangely vulnerable movement -- not the sort of body language he ever really conveyed around others.]
[But it only lasts a moment-- because in the next, Mephisto suddenly shifts, taking his phone and and holding it back, poised as if it about to throw it-- but he stops. And then slowly brings it back down, opening it and seemingly typing a message--]

Leave.
