[That's fine, Giles isn't a particularly good therapist, anyway.]

[Shark wrassling is so not on the menu, but if you want a vampire mercilessly staked, you know who to call.]
That is a reasonable assumption, but my role is really traditionally in the library, far removed from any fighting. Most Watchers take a... hands off approach. One I entirely disagree with. [He can't help the way his voice sharpens a little on the last sentence; it's a point of some contention in his life.]

I was literal when I said demonic forces. That is, I assist the Slayer in disposing of demons that -- that prey upon their peacefully ignorant human victims, in a truly gruesome variety of ways.

...So what, most've 'em just watch shit unfold and don't do anything about it? [If so, he can share in the distaste, the disapproval there evident.] Kinda worthless, if so.

Is it something only the slayer can do? [Hey, parallels.] And... when you say gruesome, they rip 'em apart or something, sounds like.

For the most part? Yes, [he says sourly.] I have little doubt it's contributed to the generally short lifespan of their Slayers.

Anyone can, and does, but the Slayer has inhuman strength, speed, and skill. She is the... ah, the 'boogie man' of the demonic world. Ripping apart is the tip of the iceberg of what demons can do.

...Yeah, that's pretty worthless.

So it goes past physical damage, I take it.

I've always thought so.

Yes. [There's a quieter tone as he says this.] Some of them were once human, or are as intelligent or more, and they delight in seeing the suffering of their victims. They can be... creative.
