It didn't take long for the others to find the gallery, in fact, two students decided to explore the area and River turned to give Miss Baeva and Miss Peale a grin and nod.

River took a few steps back, drank his drink once more and decided to look on the next artefact that was on display. That was when he heard the sound of soft conversation, and realised that there were more people in the vast gallery. Hmm, perhaps these people weren't too keen about partying as well? He'd walked in the direction of the sound to see a young woman and Kalen Kennedy engaged in a conversation. If he hadn't been paying attention to the competition, River would've easily mistaken the woman to be a member of the BoG, or a chaperone from Ilvermorny.

River had joined their company, by giving the Librarian a solid tap on his back, and a grin towards the Ilvermorny champion, "Good evening Kalen, Miss Hamilton." he took responsibility of knowing all the champions' names in case they end up in his Hospital Wing. As far as he knew, Ilvermorny did not bring any Healer with them, which was a shame. He would've had a blast asking said person tons of medical questions and opinions. "Congratulations for qualifying, Miss Hamilton. I'm River Reed, Hogwarts' resident healer."

Soon enough, more people found their way inside the gallery and River caught Tristan's greeting and...he looked like he was going to pass out any moment. "Excuse me for a moment," River grinned at Kalen and Louise as he excused himself and approached Tristan, clasping the younger man's shoulder with his other hand. "Is everything alright? How are you feeling?" did he need a calming draught?
