[They're stopped between a shop and a much larger shop, bright lights and a stylized pumpkin hanging from a sign. There's other pumpkins in the windows. He'd found it trite for awhile but that sort of architecture's become comforting. It means trick or treating and possibly illicit activities but as long as nobody gets hurt...

And they wouldn't.]

Lady there? She's a lycanthrope. Cat chick. She's obsessed with pumpkins. Pie, soup, whatever. All of it. You magic all her pumpkins so they blow out in the shop, I oversalt her dinner which she should be starting in about ten minutes. She'll be picking it out of her teeth. She buys her dinner. Never cooks. Might be the only lycanthrope I've seen here who doesn't.

I've got left over pumpkin cookies. You swoop in, offer those as an alternative to her dinner from the local diner - she's sentimental and she'll offer you as much candy or items as you can carry. Compare that to what I'll be grabbing when the lights are out and we can fill three, four bags with the stuff.

[The polite way of phrasing all of this is "you provide a distraction while I steal candy" but they don't rob. At least not directly.]
