Riku was keeping a close eye out for the Prince's hand, he'd deflect the little girl if he needed to, even if he needed to pick her up himself.
But she ran straight for the Prince's open arm, putting her little arms around the Prince's neck and holding on tightly. "Oh Sora! It IS you!" It had been SO long since she'd seen him last.
Riku waved back the guards; Daisy was safe. There was no need for them to bother her.
"I was JUST thinking about you!" she promised up and down, squirming like a eager puppy in the Prince's arms. "And then Riku showed up and said I should see you. It was like MAGIC," she whispered conspiratorially.
