Or, there was another, more terrifying possibility, which was…
"—No, I ca back on my own initiative."
Truly Dick, even when faced with Theodore's cold expression, he continuously exuded a great deal of goodwill. "I wanted to co back and see you first, see Tim, and of course, visit Alfred and Bruce."
"Oh, and you don't need to be so polite with your address. Bruce should have told you that we can just call him by his na."
Theodore froze on the steps.
And Richard, as if that wasn't enough, suddenly looked down as if rembering sothing and spoke to Tim. "I forgot to ask, is Bruce still sleeping so late these days?"
Theodore: "!!!"
Wait, shut up!
What are you even saying???
Is this a topic that can be discussed in public?
Don't you need to hide it from at all?!
Even if every boy in the mansion knew what kind of fate awaited them, was it a bit too explosive to directly discuss the details of how Wayne sleeps at night in public?!
Theodore was greatly shocked.
Whether it was casually calling himself Dick, or brazenly discussing Wayne's nightti sleep problems. Richard, you… you… why do you act like a seasoned player, so practiced in these matters?!

After Theodore went downstairs, he walked out without looking back. His back seed unable to bear so intense emotion, still trembling slightly.
When Dick saw this, he curled his fingertips in disappointnt and lightly tapped the edge of the plate.
"He didn't even eat Alfred's cookies; he seems a bit unhappy." Dick shook his head, a little annoyed, "Did I say sothing wrong just now?"
Nightwing was always very sensitive to other people's emotions.
Many people actually have similar talents. But most people with this talent beco sensitive and suspicious as a result.
But Dick was different. He used his innate sensitivity to understand people, tolerate people, and treat them kindly.
Human nature is to gravitate towards light. Perhaps that's why Nightwing can always so easily win the affection of so many people.
Theodore, who had quickly stepped out the first-floor door, actually heard Richard's muttering.
He answered silently in his heart: No, you didn't do anything wrong; it's just that I have no experience interacting with people like you. Richard is indeed not a bad person. It's just that his taste is a bit off.
"Uh, don't mind him."
Tim smoothed things over for Theodore: "He might not be in a good mood today… You know, we didn't sleep well last night."
Of course, Dick wouldn't argue with his younger brother about this. He proudly ruffled the little Robin's hair again, smiling unconcernedly amidst Tim's protests.
"You understand his temper so well? Seeing you two get along, I'm relieved."
Tim shook his head: "I've just spent more ti with Theodore; I know how to deal with him."
"Don't be modest, Tim. Theodore clearly prefers you." Dick pretended to be sad, clutching his chest: "From now on, I'll be the isolated one in the family."
"What?"
Tim raised an amused eyebrow, dismissing Dick's statent.
"Seriously? You two just aren't familiar yet. Once you get to know each other, Theodore will definitely like you—I've never t anyone who doesn't like Nightwing."
Dick casually responded, "Just like no one dislikes Gotham Baby Bruce, right?"
Uh.
As soon as he spoke, Tim's expression beca a bit strange.
Dick keenly noticed this: "What's wrong?"
Tim shrugged: "I just suddenly thought that Theodore really doesn't seem to like Bruce."
The two brothers, one tall and one short, exchanged glances, their similar blue eyes reflecting each other's images. "—You're kidding!" Dick exclaid, "Bruce is so cool, how could any boy dislike Bruce?"
"Well, I might have observed incorrectly…" "—There must be so misunderstanding!"
Dick's reaction wasn't this agitated when he was coldly treated by Theodore earlier, or when he saw that soone was indifferent to Alfred's cookies.
He stood up with great enthusiasm, his tone clearly full of confidence.
"There must be so misunderstanding here. I see both Theodore and Bruce as very good people."
"Let ask them!"
