"Why's Xander so quiet?" Sholeh whispered to Faith, as Giles discussed the latest missions at the weekly meeting.

"You didn't hear about his training mission this week." Sholeh frowned. Xander's report had been brief, but nothing had seemed out of the ordinary. She shook her head and Faith continued. "While his girls were dealing with one demon, a second took Xander hostage and threatened to castrate him. Fortunately, he had two girls in reserve who handled the situation."

"Scary." Sholeh shuddered at what could have been a nasty situation. "I can't see Xander as a castrati."

Faith grinned. "I can."
