[Abby doesn't hesitate to respond. She just gives a slight shrug and goes with what they both know is the truth.]
You don't. You don't know that I'm not working with her anymore than I know for sure that you're really Dean Winchester. [a pause; she continues in the same calm, virtually emotionless, tone] But if you'll think about it, you'll see it would be a pretty stupid trick. Because I'm not asking you to go after her. I'm not even asking to use any of your weapons. I'm just looking for information on how to do it myself.
[ ....it would be a stupid trick, one dean thinks he could see right through and even lilith isn't that incapable. but he still hesitates, wanting to find some loophole or angle that he's missing here, something that would shed some true light on abby. eventually though he sighs some, though that stern expression remains. ]
....Right, and say I believe you? What makes you think I'd send you after Lilith? Alone, at that? 'Cause you know, the bitch might not look much more than a toothpick Barbie, but she packs a mean punch.
[And this. This is why Abby tends to avoid dealing with adults. Rarely do they get past the fact that she looks like a child but isn't one. Even if they think they can accept it, there's always a part of them that still treats her like she's actually twelve-years-old.
She supposes, in some way, she should probably be grateful. The guy seems to be trying to protect her in some way - or protect the peace in Wonderland, instead, maybe - but she doesn't really appreciate it right now. She's concerned about Lindsey. No one else. Not even herself.
To her credit, though, she manages to keep her temper under control and her tone even as she tries to reason with him some more.]
I know she's dangerous. I know killing her might even be impossible for me. But she's giving someone I care about her blood and it's changing him. I can't convince him to leave her alone and she isn't going to leave him alone willingly. [She shrugs.] What other choice do I have?
[She pauses and raises her chin a notch.]
I'm not afraid to die, Dean. Not if it's for the right reasons.
[And that's not true, not even a little, but she sounds sincere enough.]
You get help. You get help that'll do the hard bits for you. And I know you've done that with me, sorta, but I'm telling you... it's tough goin' up against her. I can't just-- send you to your death, kiddo. [ not a kid? looks like that's been forgotten. but her appearance doesn't help him feel any better about this. ]
But maybe I can help your friend-- or help you with that, demon traps and all, and then find a way to deal with her. She's kinda on my off list, and all.
[ a lot of people are, but it's slow going in a place like this where death isn't permanent. ]
Dyin' for the right reasons is good and all, but with Lilith-- you can find another way.
[her lips press together into a thin line and her eyes flash with something, a promise of there being far more to her than what you see at first glance; her voice comes out tight sounding]
I was born before America became a country. Please don't call me that.
[and moving on because at least he's agreeing to help. that's something.]
What will it take to stop her? [stop. not kill. if there's another way, she'll listen, but she's not making any promises.]
First off, we'd wanna start with simply trapping her. After that... well, there's a whole lot we can do to make her understand that she needs to back off.

Alright, alright. Nobody likes a show-off.
