River had his eyes glued to the screens before him, when Daisy happened. The Healer blinked, as he readjusted his vision to focus on the Slytherin commentator who was begging them to stop the challenge. He perfectly understood why, considering that his friend was in the competition. He too would've been very worried if he didn't know what was really going on. River was about to answer the Slytherin when Levi jumped into action. The kid was smart, and he knew that Levi would answer the call. The Hogwarts Healer simply grinned at Daisy and pointed at the screen behind her. She really ought to trust Levi more.

A few gripping moments later, and the first challenge was over. Soon, the challengers came back to the Viewing Area one by one, and by instinct, the Healer scanned each student for visible injuries. From where he sat, however, everyone seemed to be in good condition, sans a disappointed Mason Winslow. His eyes lingered on the young man for a moment and then moved on to the rest of the gathered students. River had been busy scrutinising each of the participants, ready to give medical assistance when the drawing of wands happened. The Healer snapped out of his focus when Regina told them off and stared at the students involved. Merlin. Are they at each other's throats this early in the competition? Huh. Interesting.

As soon as the qualifiers were announced, River gave his applause to all the participants, giving them an approving nod and smile as he caught their eyes. the Healer sighed as he saw Mason storm off from the stands, and soon enough River followed suit to check up on his patients.
