Yeah, I needed to make the Spike/Damian correlation for Dawn, so she could get past the fear thing. After all, he's in the house often and Dawn will need to be comfortable with him when... but I get ahead of myself.

Micah was pretty cool in this. I'm going in a certain direction with this, as we'll see in about six chapters, but I'll phrase it like this for now: Micah's the most well-adjusted person in that house, and he's had the most normal family life and would be a great dad.

Okay, I guess that doesn't leave much room for interpreation, but whatever.
