（ the effects of the food and drink and the pleasant warmth of company sees her just giving this whole scene a soft, fond smile. she's content to just follow along as d cuts through the crowd, keeping largely to his wake. people have a tendency to move out of his way.
she's not so off her game that she doesn't summon a transformed clone to send off through the crowd, another pair of eyes to be watching out for the boy's parents. she doesn't really need to know what they look like, she's imagining a frantic couple on the search for a child.
they hunt like this for a time and finally — the boy tips the hat back just enough, and flings out a chubby baby arm to indicate a dark-haired woman standing off to one side, watching the parade with desperate, fearful eyes. they make their way to her, and she practically claws the boy down from d's shoulders, caught between chastising him fiercely and sobbing in relief, thanking them both between lulls in the other two wild emotions.
sakura catches the hat as it's knocked askew by the mother's ministrations, but instead of giving it back to him she drops it on her own head. haha, she's the spooky, edgy one now.
it takes a bit longer to extricate themselves (you're welcome, it was no trouble, please don't worry about us) but once they do, sakura loops her arm companionably through his and says, ）
