[This isn't Lilith telling him something she's learned secondhand, she's sharing something she's experienced. The fact that the Beholding is apparently powerful enough to mess with her is troubling, at best, and downright terrifying at worst.]
So he's an absolute cunt, then, good to know.
[There's a difference between dragging the occasional bits of information out of people, or Knowing things without being able to entirely control it, but if he's going around forcing people to relieve their nightmares, that's a real dick move.]
All he did was ask me a question I found myself answering, is a statement much like that?
[He doesn't like asking, since clearly this is a sensitive topic, but it's worth it to know what to be on the look out for.]
It's a compulsion. He couldn't take a statement from me-- ( she could resist that ) but-- you describe the event he desires.
( and that becomes the nightmare )
He claims control over his actions but he's foolish. And-- ( she seems a little satisfied by this ) --cursed, to know the pain he inflicts with each statement he takes.
[If Jon couldn't take a statement from Lilith, Crowley wonders how the man got into her nightmares, but he doesn't think she'd respond well to be interrogated on this. If she wants to tell him the rest of it, she will. He has no need to press for more information.]
You cursed him. [He does sound a bit pleased by that, too. Good for her.] I can resist it, at at least a bit. Didn't try too hard on the question he asked 'cause it wasn't that awful to answer, but I'll keep it in mind if he goes after a statement.
[Clearly that's the best way to stop Jonathan from trying to take a statement. As if being a demon alone isn't enough to get the interest of someone like that.]
Anyone else with terrifying powers I ought to know about?
( though she isn't being truthful. alessandro's power was a little terrifying but he didn't often have cause to use it and the priest had a peculiar artifact. but she had them watched )

I would ensure that there's no cause for him to try to take one. As-- menacing as he may be it's handled.
( it isn't but she's trying )

But we shall see what else LIES brings.
