She seems surprised that you know about the Watcher's Council, and follows you willingly enough to Giles' place. She enters, and Giles nods a greeting.
"Sofia, I see you made it down."
"You know her?" you asked.
Giles nodded. "Yes, she's Kendra's replacement."
Kendra, Kendra. Wait. You remembered Giles talking about this before, but you'd forgotten. It had been such a brief meeting. "How are there two slayers?"
"The theory is that Buffy's temporary death facing the Master, combined with the mystical importance of her death fulfilling a prophecy, lead to the Slayer line twinning," Giles explained. "Obviously this isn't something we want to experiment with, or test, but that is the current hypothesis."
"And Kendra's dead?" Willow asked quietly. She looked at Sofia, taking in the fact that a girl her age, one like Buffy, had died so young. You were uncomfortable yourself thinking about it, especially with your involvement in saving Buffy's life leading to Kendra being Chosen. You were not going to go down that rabbit hole. That had too many problems.
"Why is she here?" you demanded.
"For training," Sofia answered proudly. "Buffy isn't here, so I'm filling in."
Well. There was a lot to take in there.

[X]Write-in: Suggest that as training, that we work together and start attacking Vampire nests and crypts during the day, where we have the advantage.
Huh, I definitely wasn't expecting that. Poor Kendra. Here's hoping Sofia can last longer, though that would mean that Faith wouldn't be chosen. We don't really know enough about Faith to say if that would make her life worse though.
Umm, I never watched the show so I have to ask: Is there any downside to the write-in? Will Xander and Sofia be considered as "breaking the rules" so the vampires can break the rules in turn?

The only time we see our heroes storm nests and it be considered bad was when the time Faith convinced Buffy to do so by skipping school, and when Riley Finn did it by his lonesome without backup.
The main reason that they seemed to not storm nests during the day was due to their social lives and other commitments.
She can still be chosen if Sofia dies.

Yes, but I'd rather not wish for Sofia's death.
Neither do I. I did not know if you knew Faith will remain a candidate.
[X]Ask if you'll be training with her
I think the write in can be too dangerous for a new slayer.

[X]We can start training with her now.
[X]Write-in: State that we work together and start attacking Vampire nests and crypts during the day, where we have the advantage. (Common sense)
This makes sense to me. I'm adding it to my vote.

Xander is not a Watcher and has no control over what Sofia does. If Giles thinks that attacking vampire nests during the day is too dangerous, he will veto it, assuming that he knows what's going on anyway.
True but that's for him to say or not.
I don't think Giles can give us orders anyway. We most likely would listen because we respect him and his experience but not because we "have too".
Besides it's a statement made in front of Giles/The Watcher, A statement of intent/growth and maybe leadership.
We are stating it in front of him so either he agrees or not.
Either way we learn something and maybe he see us growing to something….

Poor Giles is well aware he has no control over the teenagers he's responsible for xD
