Ben wants to be a Wendigo for Halloween. Lisa doesn't want to know how he knows about those, but she suspects Balthazar, who's slightly more loose-lipped about the things out there than Dean ever was. Lisa disapproves, but a) Balthazar is also more powerful than Dean and b) she doesn't want to admit she had to Google the damn thing.
"What?" Balthazar says, crossing his legs and flipping the page of the newspaper. "It's better than a rugaru."
"A-- oh, never mind," Lisa says. She just has to chalk this one up as a loss.
So that's why they're tromping around the neighborhood with Ben going up to each door declaring, "RAWR, I'm the ghost of a hiker who died of starvation in the woods, give me candy or I'll eat you instead!" and Lisa looking at Balthazar, hoping in vain he will share some of her worry. But Balthazar's proud as if it were his own kid, and Lisa is starting to really regret her decision to let him into her life for real.
But there are times that Balthazar really puts his hedonistic self aside and talks to Ben like someone needs to talk to him. And there are times when Ben's scared of demons or monsters or something else that he knows is out there and can't ever share with his peers, and it helps to see Balthazar stand there and just start to glow, a light that could pierce the heart of any dark thing the way it's pierced Lisa's heart, dirty thoughts and broken wings and all.
And then there are times when Balthazar encourages Ben to TP the nasty neighbor's house, and Lisa frowns and disapproves and yells at them for a good ten minutes to no avail. She keeps on scowling and disapproving right up until she throws caution to the wind and joins in.
