The Healer was only sat for a few seconds when Laurel turned her attention to him, asking the status of the competitors like a very concerned mother. "All of our Hogwarts Champions are well and healthy to be sent home to their families. I haven't had the chance to check on the Ilvermorny students however since they do have their own Healer on board, but I trust that they have been taken care of." They would've gone to him if things turned for the worst, but thank Merlin that that wasn't the case. Handling two different schools at the same time would've been a living nightmare.

If he was going to be honest, River thought it weird that Kay was 'late' to the Feast tonight. She'd always been the first...or second to arrive at the Dais, and tonight felt a bit off. Perhaps she was in one of those moods where she doesn't feel like rushing things. Nonetheless, her arrival was met with a grin and nod from the Healer.

Quiet hi's and hello's were given to Kalen and Gaston as well, even raised his cup to the latter to offer his congratulations. Gryffindor won the House Cup again this Term...and it was something that River was happy about, believing in the fact that it will boost Gaston's confidence.

River gave Tristan a three-finger salute as he made his way to the staff table, and waited for him to get settled in his chair. "Say Tristan, what food would you recommend for my Newfoundlands? They are both turning five this year, and I was wondering if I could introduce more protein into their diet. Rescue dogs and all." he leaned forward on his seat to get a better view of the former Hufflepuff, grabbing his goblet of water in the process to drink from it.

Water...why can't it be wine for a change?

Rose also got a nod and a "good evening," back from the Healer. As usual, all the ladies on staff looked impeccable in their battle dresses. Nikolas, however, was an exception. Always the subtle rebel...and complimenting the Headmistress oh so boldly tonight, hmm? Obviously, he was missing out on something important here. Perhaps...the talk about his best friend hanging out with Regina back at Merlin's Pride was worthy of some...interrogation, considering he'd been busy rescuing a Gryffindor boy who got thrown into the lake that night and missed to witness them spending some 'down time' at the casino.

Roderik's smirk was registered, of course, and a quick glance was given to Camilla, before turning his attention back to the Defence Professor. "Yes, what about you, Rod?" Rod. Merlin's soggy underpants, that name will forever be funny to the Healer. "Also...are you familiar with the handwriting?" he continued as he fished out a note from his pocket containing German words he could not understand. The foreign words, 'To my dearest River...' was written in impeccable handwriting at the top, and the Healer could not help but think it had something to do with Rod...erik.
