The logical answer would be that her tears were caused by fatigue, but she wasn't actually sure.
Without meaning to, she'd wound up on the third floor. Immediately, she thought of Levi and wondered why she never actually bothered to stop by Healer Reed's office. Well, she knew why, but as she was already in the area, she figured a quick chat would be just the kind of distraction she needed. Althea bounced over to his door, gave it a light knock, and plucked one of the magazines off the table to flip through as she waited.
For the umpteenth time that week, River Reed forgot to take his food. The influx of patients was relatively low compared to the last term, but the arrival of Ilvermorny students seem to have made all the difference. Not all could adapt to their bloody cold weather, and perhaps their food (?) so there he was, running the hospital wing like a well-oiled machine, looking after both Hogwarts and Ilvermorny students.
River was on his second clementine when he heard a knock on his door.
Sigh. Apparently, he's not allowed to rest and eat in peace while students roamed about. After swallowing the last piece in his mouth, River cleared his throat and opened his office door to see who it was.
"Miss Kenning," A pleasant surprise indeed! Who would've thought that the female Kenning would pay him a visit all of a sudden?
"Come in," he said grinning at the Hufflepuff and gestured his head towards his office.
