Unless the balance being redressed was Natural World vs The Outside.

That's a Balance. Probably not the only one, or at least not that easily broken down into one or the other.

Rasins:
Jim has mentioned that if, for instance, one or more of the fallen in the coins were to be release, several balances would suddenly be out of ... balance.

So I agree there are lots of balances out there.  Some are like those when you weigh something, others are probably more like a balance found through tension, and others like the balance that is found that provides lift to an airplane (a vacuum of power?).

Con:
I still think there had to be some sort of exchange between the Erlking and Kringle and Mab. I mean Corpsetaker was a mutual enemy too but Mab still had to redress the balance of the favour she gave to Uriel in Skin Game.

What favor did Mab give to Uriel in Skin Game?   If anything it can be seen as it was in Small Favor, they had a common interest..

Con:
And you don't think that was in an of itself a balance of exchanges? In Small Favour Mab sends Harry into battle Uriel sends the Knights of the Cross. That's an equal balance if I ever heard one.

Ghost Story the Favour was Uriel keeping Harry Soul Alive in Purgatory While Mab kept his body alive. Again both of their causes had been compromised by Harry's death.

Skin Game a repayment against the Denarians for their actions in both Small Favour and Skin Game in defeating their mutual enemy, all the while Mab gained power in WMD's of the Vault and Uriel got the chance to save multiple Souls through the actions of humanities Free Will. Including potentially Harry's.

Think of what Mac said to Mab "May your scales always return to Balance" "Flatterer"

All of those instances are about scales of balancing actions that have equal actions.

Plus I thought there was a WOJ about Skin Game being Mab clearing her ledger of favours and debts, which implied her favours and debts to Nicodemus, Uriel, Marcone and Hades. But I can't seem to find it and this hasn't been my day of misquoting hearsay WOJ's, so I won't use it in this argument.
