** What's particularly interesting is that, from Olaf's point of view, he was really impressed with Xander and doing him a favor. He was going kill both Anya and Willow, but [[WorthyOpponent Xander impressed him with his bravery,]] so he let Xander choose one to save. And then, when Xander refused, Oglaf complimented him for his loyalty (and broke his arm to make sure he meant it) before agreeing to let him die in their place. When you say it that way, it almost makes sense...
