Sometimes he felt as if Sunnydale was his island exile. An island he was banished to, with Buffy being his duty and his devotion, with Willow and Xander being his spirits.

He kept his Library with the magic books, trying his best to keep control and to keep his Slayer alive.

Sometimes wished he could drown his books, he could return to whatever Milan he was coming from, a place he almost didn't remember. But his return would mean that his slayer was dead. So he kept to his books and kept to his duty and waited for the tempest.
