When Chas scoots away, Balthazar smiles and lets him.
"What are you doing here?" the boy demands.
Balthazar sighs. "Chas, would you like to know why John never lets you help?"
What Chas would like very much is to make a sarcastic comment, but he holds back because he does want to know.
"Because the demon would attack you first," Balthazar tells him.
"Why?" Chas asks, in spite of himself.
"Because everyone, even a full-fledged demon can see that you, Chas Kramer, you are John Constantine's biggest weakness."
Chas shakes his head. "No, I'm not."
"Yes, oh, yes, you are, my dear boy. He loves you, and that means I can hurt him by hurting you."
Chas frowns. "But you can't hurt me here. We're in a church."
Balthazar laughs. "I can hurt you anywhere I please, Chas. I'm a half-breed. Only demons have restrictions, you should know that, bookworm."
Chas gets up out of the pew and turns to leave, but Balthazar appears in his path.
"Only demons have restrictions, love," he repeats and pushes Chas back down into the pew.
