Chapter 54: Embraces and kisses under the moonlight, love...
"I passed the exam... but I'm not actually that happy."
Enid turned her head to meet Dick's blue eyes, kissed by the moonlight. In the glittering starry sky, he also turned slightly, his back to the boundless sky behind him.
"Hmm... let me guess, is it because of that princess?" Dick reached out and gently patted Enid's head. She paused for a moment, then slowly nodded. There was no denying it, because Dick had already subtly caught the barely perceptible sadness in Enid's eyes. "Would you like to hear about what happened during my night patrol a while ago?"
Okay.
"Let me think... well, actually, I was asked to help find a child. Obviously, this child wasn't lost but was taken by the mother. The father is a gambler, and the mother... well, that's about right. They stole the child to sell for a good price."
Thinking of that incident, he sighed slightly. Enid's heart involuntarily tightened. She grasped Dick's large hand, feeling the gentle touch on it. He smiled slightly to reassure Enid.
“Hey, don’t worry about Fia.” He paused, then continued under Enid’s expectant gaze, “It’s a pity I couldn’t find the boy, because he was adopted by a couple who were infertile. Nightwing isn’t omnipotent, is he?”
Her anxious heart finally calmed down a little, but Enid was still worried about the child. So she opened her overly beautiful big eyes and stared at Dick pitifully. Of course, that's how Dick saw her. So Enid, without asking for anything, made it impossible for Mr. Nightwing to surrender.
"Were...were those elderly people good people?"
"Fia, don't look at me like that. No, I'm very beautiful, but you know... How about I take you to see me? Perhaps our Druid Prince needs to examine me personally?"
The more Enid heard Dick say this, the more her heart began to race. Countless mischievous thoughts surged within her, so she tiptoed closer to him. Her fresh, sweet scent practically dominated Dick's breath, and he could only see stars in her eyes.
"I know you want to kiss me, right? I'll give you permission."
Who can refuse a lover's promise? At least Dick couldn't, so he could only willingly compromise, lower his head and approach her lips. Then, a soft waist appeared in his arms. He held her tightly and kissed her lips. In the exchange of breaths, it was as if they could melt each other. Every inch of his air was filled with her scent.
Dick only let go when her face turned slightly pink; Enid was a little shy.
"I didn't give you permission to kiss me that hard." She was being coquettish, and Dick raised his hands in surrender. "Sorry, sorry, I'll be gentler next time, of course I mean I'll try my best."
Enid didn't believe him, nor was she really blaming him for using force; she just needed a topic to change the subject. So she looked out the window, put on her mask, and her pretty loungewear transformed into a druidic ceremonial dress in the blink of an eye—the dress she had worn that day. Dick was experiencing a slight hallucination, and due to the visual distortion, he instinctively hugged Enid.
Enid swallowed the boastful words she was about to utter. She reached out and patted Dick's back. She seemed to see in Dick's tight embrace the many reasons he had been unable to sleep through the night, and the exhaustion of excessive regret when he woke up in the middle of the night, even though he looked radiant now.
“I am no longer a lonely druid. I am a druid needed by Nightwing. I am Grady, not Niaf,” Dick released Enid, and she reached out to cup Dick’s face in her hands, so that their foreheads could meet. “I will not leave you, in the name of God, in the name of Archdruid Enid Grady Wayne. This is the promise the Archdruid made to Nightwing, and Enid made to Dick.”
She was sorry for not considering them at that time, but justice and self-interest are things that can never be reconciled. She did not regret destroying the Storm Children at the cost of her soul at that time, because this planet did not belong to her, but to every human being, the home of all living things. She was a subject and had an obligation to protect her home.
Moreover, she was an Archdruid, beloved by all things, and she had no regrets, so she only felt sorry.
“That’s great, I mean, I’m so glad I can keep hugging you like this.”
Dick knew she wouldn't leave again, but some anxiety couldn't be immediately dispelled. However, he was happy at least for the moment, so he instinctively picked Enid up. She could sit on his arm, making her look much taller than him.
“I thought you would say that Bruce would want to hear that even more than I do,” Enid chuckled. “But I actually told my father that I wouldn’t disappear again, and he was very happy. Maybe I should change my clothes, although I quite like this one.”
"Actually, it's not necessary, but maybe I can help? I can post it in the channel."
"Well, actually I think I can, at least... no, it's mainly because I thought of the uniform Barbara sent me, um..."
Enid paused, then realized something—it was Nightwing's uniform, a blue uniform with a disco vibe, so eye-catching that she initially didn't believe Dick understood what she was trying to say.
"I thought he looked pretty good, didn't I?"
"Hmm...maybe it's because you're too handsome that you get the wrong impression. After all, you look good in anything."
Her words caught Dick's eye, and his tone instantly became excited, filled with enthusiasm: "I like that sentence, and of course, the person who said it."
Dick blinked slightly, and Enid reached out and touched his cheek. "Okay, you've received Mr. Nightwing's love. So, shall we set off now? It's too late. I bet Alfred will say, 'Great! Young Master and Miss must have evolved to lose their sleep ability by now, right?'"
Her tone was incredibly lifelike when she mimicked Afu's, although Dick didn't stop her. For example, he saw Afu because they weren't on the balcony of the room anymore. Of course, he would never admit that he had forgotten, since who would care whether they were being intimate in the room at home or somewhere else?
“I’m so glad Miss Fia realized this, and I must commend you for learning so well. So, when do you plan to come back? After all, the master has already returned, hasn’t he?”
Very well, the implication being that Bruce was about to go to sleep. Enid was startled when she heard Alfred's voice and blushed with embarrassment. Fortunately, the moonlight was somewhat perceptive and did not deliberately illuminate her location, but unfortunately, her neglected night vision was overly sensitive at this moment.
"I...I know, I'll be back soon! We're just taking a look!"
"Then I suggest you bring this along, wouldn't that be better?"
Alfred held a piece of candy in his hand, the kind Bruce often used to coax children. Later, this candy was upgraded and now tastes even better, is suitable for various environments, and has a special mark that cannot be counterfeited. This was modified by Enid to prevent it from being misused.
"Great, Afu, this is exactly what we need!"
Dick was delighted to receive the candy from Alfred, taking it with one hand and stuffing it into his pocket. The candy was already wrapped, and he could give it to him later. Seeing Dick put it away, Enid looked away, but then noticed two candies left on the plate, gleaming in the moonlight. She paused, met Alfred's gaze, and he smiled gently.
"Miss Fia and Master Dick are children too, aren't they?"

As for what Enid and Bruce said, it's actually quite simple.
"Father, I won't leave again, really! I definitely won't choose this method next time. I'm sorry for making you worry." Then she hugged her father.

Dad is actually quite anxious and sad about this. Dad is sad no matter who he loses. He cares a lot about all his little birds, and of course, Afu!
