She'd grit her teeth so much she might crack a tooth, but she would hold her ground if that's what she promises. And if the ants somehow provide clues to leaving the forest and returning to their individual homes, she'll be on her best behavior. Until then, she'll be aware of herself, Orcelito, and the few others in the group she's acquainted with.
But truly, the ants are not her biggest concern when it comes to danger, army or no. In the end, they're just insects, and insects aren't capable of cunning or deceit, something Riona has been on the receiving end of more than once. Humans are capable of terrible deeds and she's seen too much for a girl her age. The fact that she admits this to anyone at all means that person is most likely exempt from her suspicions. It's only been a few months but she's come a long way to feel comfortable around her friend.
Her gaze returns to Orcelito, noticing the change in his voice, and stares at him for a long moment before nodding.
"Yes... I'm prepared, but I would rather avoid fighting." She pauses, her thoughts going back to something Orcelito said while speaking with the group. It's a slight shift in topic, but she asks, "... If you're going to speak with the ants, I think we'll be fine. We have Saber as well, and she's a knight. Hakuryuu as well. He's a part of an army himself. If anything does happen, I don't think it would be our fault."
