They had been there for a while, trying to decide what to do. The brothers were sat against the wall while Gabriel stood, leaning against it
Mugman: What usually makes them stop?
Gabriel: Until one's nearly killed
Cuphead: Hah, wouldn't it be funny if I threw mugs out there and they hit him by accident?
He said, butting into the conversation. Both his brother and Gabriel were annoyed with the comment
Gabriel: Not now, Cuphead
Mugman: Wait, how have they not killed the other yet?
Gabriel: They always show mercy to whoever is hanging by a thread first.. At least Lucifer does. Michael's ordered not to kill him
Mugman: Really??
Cuphead: Why not?
Gabriel: We're not sure, but it's best not to question our Father..
He crossed his arms and glanced at the wall just beside him. He got off the wall and peered around the corner
Gabriel: They're still fighting..
In the distance, you could hear shouting in Enochian, and Gabriel slowly turned back to the brothers with an anxious expression
Mugman: What is it?
Gabriel: I'm just afraid.. You two could get hurt..
Cuphead: We can revive each other, can't we? And they'll stop if they notice they accidentally hurt one of us
Gabriel: You're right..
Mugman: That could work! Cup, you do it!
Cuphead: Me?! Why?!
Mugman: They're less likely to hit you! They like you more than me!
Cuphead: Hah, that's true
He smirked at Mugman, and the mug rolled his eyes before grabbing his shoulder and shoving him out into the open
Cuphead: Wait, now?!
Mugman: No, when they're dead!
He sarcastically shouted at his brother and went back behind the wall with Gabe. Cuphead just ran out without hesitation towards them
Cuphead: Hey! Hold it!
He called out to them while waving his arms around. But neither Michael nor Luci listened. They didn't even see him
Cuphead: For God's sake!
The cup hissed out in a whisper before glancing at Devil, preparing to block an attack from Michael. So he ran out in front of him, standing fearlessly
Mugman: Cuphead!
Gabriel: Wait!
He blocked Mugman with his arm, and they both watched as Michael realized who was there and forced his wings forward to stop mid-air, blowing a harsh wind onto Cuphead and his closed eyes
Devil: Cuphead! Oh my god, why are you here?! Why did you do that?! You could've been hurt!
Cuphead: I trusted Michael wouldn't even lay a finger on me
He shrugged and opened his eyes, smiling at Michael, as he was facing him
Michael: What are you doing here?
Cuphead: Dice got worried about Devil, so we offered to go with Gabriel
Michael: We?
Cuphead: Mugs and I
