They can probably sense the judgemental looks before they even happen.
[Though isn't Michael always looking judgemental by default anyway? Whatever. This stupid banter doesn't matter anyway, it's just a way to try to navigate this situation until they inevitably have to be serious, something which Gabriel is not enthusiastic about. So he keeps stalling.]
Heard you're all alone over there on your side of the continent.
[As far as representatives from their world go, anyway.]
Michael wouldn't know complacency if it crawled into his vessel with him and redecorated.
[sorry gabe sorry but]
Oh, I don't know, Raphael might actually stay dead, unlike you. Not that we seem to get a choice for who's alive when they should be dead here, I mean, look at Castiel.
No, meaning you didn't kill me, because I'm not an idiot. Surprise.
[He's rolling his eyes so hard right now, but he's genuinely annoyed, which is probably obvious when he adds--]
Nice to know your disappointment about me being alive was from that particular experience, though. Must suck that the brother you tried to kill wouldn't stay dead.
What? Oh, congrats, you survived? So what, so you could run away again? Where'd you go this time while Mikey and I were in the Cage and Raphael was dead?
[Just gonna avoid the main answer to that question, to instead go with--]
You tried to stab me; sorry I didn't feel like sticking around for more of your pleasant company, and didn't see the need to come back once everything was under control.
Oh please, I've killed Castiel twice and we're on neutral-ish terms, grow up.
By what definition of under control, exactly, are you going with? Because Michael had a stick up his ass but at least there wasn't a civil war and the angels eventually being ejected from Heaven and becoming an endangered species.
[which. didn't happen until he came here. but it still happened.]
And for what. Screw you. Screw you for getting involved on a whim that absolutely didn't change the course of anything. I sure hope you thought it was worth it.
What I thought was that you might listen to me. That maybe, just maybe, your grudge against Michael, and against dad, and against humanity suddenly wouldn't seem as important when you had to go through me to get it.
But I guess I learned my lesson. So yeah, maybe it was worth it, just not in the way I was hoping for.
[Maybe not a lot. And maybe even it'd still play out the same but even if he had the means to do so Lucifer isn't about to go through Michael for anything and he's sure as hell not going through Gabe. And maybe there's just a fraction of him that would give pause because he's trying to see the inner workings of anyone that can look at that planet and see some piece of those apes that isn't just contamination because a few other worlds seemed to have produced some that aren't shit, so how come that one is so screwed up?]

[Gabe's heard. Lucifer's heard nothing.]
[you could make a feast off his text-based sarcasm]

[And okay, yikes, no missing the underlying tone of that next message, so of course Gabriel just ignores that entirely.]
We sure are. Should we take bets on how long before Raphael shows up?

I saw you way more recently than that. As in, seconds before I got here.
