[Of course he's going to die for real eventually. He's not arguing that. It's simply the fact that, if he's not mistaken and he has been out of the loop for a while, the time for Michael to die for real is not right now.
And Mot has always been good to him, as well. Which is exactly why this partnership works as well as it does. Because neither of them would put up with the other's bullshit. And sure, maybe El's the more sympathetic and emphatic of the two of them, the fact remains that if Mot were to try and command him, well, there'd be just as many problems as the other way around. But Mot does, and he doesn't, and so it works.
He's very aware of what's happening Upstairs. And he would just like to say, here and now, that he's so relieved that someone in this universe understands him. Not that he ever thought that Mot didn't understand him or his actions, or that he wouldn't straight up ask if he honestly didn't understand but, after living as a prophet and everything since, and seeing evidence of Michael and Raphael not understanding, he's entirely too glad that someone does.
And, if he's continuing to be completely honest, he's glad that it's Mot.]
