To their credit, they did not run when Nidhogg's gargantuan form materialized into existence. Thick and heavyset, the dragon's body was draped with jagged spikes and horned obtrusions, a mass of serrated spines that started from its shoulders and ended with the tip of its whip-like tail. Claws twice the length of a man's arm clutched at the earth, carving deep, winding fissures in the dirt with the barest of movements. A long, serpentine neck carried the menacing skull, the scaled snout filled to the brim with wicked, curved teeth. Crimson pupils glared at them, and as the dragon extended to its fullest height, those eyes fastened on to Rias and her group in malicious delight.

It was an unfair assumption, in his opinion. He hadn't chosen at all. He was not sure what they were to him, but they certainly weren't replacements. Nothing could replace the bonds he had made with SEES.
