Once upon a time, the carnival had had some jousting-on-winged-horses for a show, but Daisy had never met a real knight-in-shining armour until now, and she was so thrilled she didn't feel even a tiny bit bad for lying to him like this. It wasn't lying, just... pretending. For a good cause.
She turned away from the lamppost - it may be Only A Lamppost, but it was like it knew she was a giant liar - and into his hold, nodding up at him helplessly. Daisy supposed she might have protested - said no, I'm perfectly fine, and I have a job to do, Sir - or at least insisted that he only drop her off at the edge of the park so that she could go and lie down on her own cot, instead of go back to the hospital where they'd spent all that time in quarantine already... but maybe another visit to the hospital was worth it, if she was going to get carried there in his arms. Like a real life princess!
"Alright," Daisy deigned, in her Best Princess Tone. "But I can't stay there long, Mr. Goyle, sir. I've got things to do." (She'd stay there for days, if he wanted, but she thought she'd better not say as much.)
