Aw was he getting all sappy and sentimental on her? "Of course I'm still supporting you," Honestly. What kind of girlfriend would she be if she didn't support him? Especially since she hadn't even thought he would make it to the fourth challenge, but the fact that he did was just incredulous. And he did amazing, seriously.
And then Healer Reed was there, offering Brent an ice pack and while there were competitors health needs to attend to, Skylar wasn't sure if she should feel offended that he didn't even acknowledge her standing there before Brent. "I'll be right back," because, he had asked for water, and that was when she remembered the food tote, up by Professor Newton and Madelyn, only there were no beverages in there because she had completely forgotten about drinks.
As she released her hands from his to race to the concession stand, she heard the exclamation of Valerie behind her and turned to find the white-haired Ilvermorny champion had collapsed. Heat stroke? Plain exhaustion? Was she injured? Honestly, Skylar had no idea, but crowding was not going to help much, she decided and hurried faster to the concessions were she picked up THREE water bottles and a gillywater, figuring the latter might help in hydration more than plain water.
Hurrying back towards the competitors, she tossed a water bottle toward Healer Reed. "For her. It might help?" she suggested. And then handed another water bottle and the gillywater to the Slytherin.
Another clean face towel was conjured and that too was placed on Valerie's forehead, secured with a frozen ice-pack on top of it. The process of eliminating excessive heat from her system shouldn't take a while, but perhaps due to fatigue from previous challenges, her body has finally given out. River can't be sure, considering that he wasn't her school healer, or if she had been seeing their healer every after challenge. It was hard to tell, but he was hoping that her present condition won't lead to a more serious case.
River was back to dousing the first towel with cold water when a bottle of gillyweed was
tossed towards him. With his hands full, he wasn't able to catch it in time...hitting him in the face.
Well done, Miss Diggory. You've made your presence known loud and clear this time.
He was done with these kids. He needed a break. And a LONG one too.
"Thank you for the thought, Miss Diggory. That would've been 10 points for thinking about a fallen comrade...but I changed my mind. 5 points to Slytherin." River rubbed his forehead and went back to tending Valerie.
He got hurt and gave away points.
Yep. He can't wait for Term to be over.
