That's the authentic Xander voice all right, and Angel too - most of the time in BtVS and early Angel episodes he seemed to accept that there may one day be good reasons to kill him, and makes plans on that basis. Shame he pretty much lost that in later episodes.

Angel’s “you may have to kill me someday” attitude was, I think, the kind of thing that would have lost its impact if they’d emphasized it too often. When they did, though, it certainly was effective.

Happy you agree with the Xander voice. Always my main concern when I use him in a story, but so far the feedback has been favorable.
