Oh, I think Spike is having way too much fun helping to train the soldiers. He had a blast scaring, terrifying, and generally traumatizing Xander into being a more alert warrior, and it has made Xander a better fighter. So, while I think all the soldiers would gleefully stake Spike in a heartbeat, they do understand that this is good for them... which would make it really bad form to kill an ally.

And Faith and Xander and Buffy are all growing up. I think I slowed Willow down a bit since she didn't have to take on all the responsibility of "saving" Angel from Angelus, but hopefully that is healthier too.

And I will keep the request for a 3some in mind because Spike sure would like to traumatize the boy.
