Items on the desk rattled as his fists slammed against it. A low growl emitted from his throat as his pointed tail swayed back and forth irritably
King Dice: Calm down, boss..
His hand rested on Lucifer's shoulder, assuringly. The demon brought his hand up to his face and sighed
Devil: I never would've let Cuphead search for Mugman if I knew that Gabriel would be helping him!
When he uttered the archangel's name, his voice became filled with hatred and loathing. But when he faced his right-hand man, the tone changed
Devil: Dice, what ideas do you have, my darling?
King Dice: None..
When he shook his head, the imps and hounds glanced around at each other. They were still a bit shaken up from the encounter with Gabriel
King Dice: By the way, you're all dismissed. Thank you for informing us
So they all left the office. The Devil stared at his desk with dread and devastation
Devil: We must think of something! If not, I'll-
His words were cut off, and he stumbled, clinging onto Dice suddenly
King Dice: B-Boss!
Exclaiming, with concern and worry, he slowly helped the Devil to a nearby sofa in the office
King Dice: It's okay, you're okay..
Lovingly, his gloved hand caressed the demon's face, and he sat next to him
Devil: This is exactly why we're doing this!
King Dice: I know..
Sadly, he watched Devil as he panted and growled, the skeletal remains of his wings shifting out of his back
Gabriel: Cuphead? Cuphead?
Gently, he rocked his shoulders back and forth in order to wake up Cups
Cuphead: Hmm?
While he hummed out as he opened his eyes, Gabriel smiled and glanced up at his friend
Cuphead: What time is it..?
Gabriel: Only noon!
Cuphead: Oh, okay.. Have you.. been walking this whole time?
Gabriel: Yes! But don't worry, as an immortal angel, I have far more stamina than your average person
Cuphead: What's "stanimina"?
Gabriel: "Stamina," Cuphead. It's the ability to sustain long periods of physical or mental activity
For a while, Cuphead was silent. Gabe looked up at him again and saw only this complete clueless look on his face
Gabriel: You don't want me to cut back on my speech for you, but you can't even understand!
Cuphead: Shut up! I was, uh, I-I wasn't paying attention!
Gabriel: It's just how long you can do something for
Cuphead: Oh, okay! That makes a lot more sense!
When Cups had heard Gabriel snicker quietly to himself, he hit him on the head roughly
Cuphead: You asshole!
Gabriel: Sorry, sorry!
Again, he laughed a little. Cuphead rested on Gabe's head, crossing his arms. That was when he finally noticed a mountain up ahead
