Ellie eyed the body. She wanted as far away from those hands as possible. "I'll explain eventually; of course." She took a step towards Conall and had to try hard not to let herself kick him.
"I'm sure there's a gurney in the sick bay. Once he's on it it's a two-person steering job. Hold on just a moment and I'll go fetch it..."

Smoke's potentially-dangerous-shit sense was pinging like mad, but he nodded. "I'll be here."
He looked over Conall. Looked like he fell on the couch... no particular signs of struggle, nothing obviously wrong; the soft 'heat-distortion' look he associated with magic was around, but Ellie'd mentioned that. And bagpipes. He guessed those belonged to somebody.
He sat down on a chair facing the couch, guessing he'd have to wait a while for the snack. Hopefully this wasn't as big a deal as it looked like.

Despite its lack of use, the wheels of the gurney were well-oiled and made very little noise when Ellie pushed it back down the corridor a few minutes later. She steered it in through the doors and parked it in front of the couch where Conall lay. If it were anyone else, Ellie would have felt sorry for them. As she looked at the vampire, however, she could only wish that he had stayed conscious long enough to at least feel the blow she had given to his head.
As soon as this thought formed in her mind it shocked her. She hadn't a violent intention in her since...well...
Ellie shook her head and smiled sweetly at Smoke. "A good one-two-heave and we should have him all set up," she told him, positioning herself by Conall's feet. "His cloak should help us lift him quite easily. Take him under the shoulders and use your forearms to cushion his head, if you will please."

"Okay." Smoke moved over by Conall's head and attempted to grab him all of a piece without yanking his hair or anything, while following Ellie's directions.
"Is he going to be all right?"

Ellie allowed herself a small chuckle. "Oh, he'll be fine. Unfortunately." Her eyes met Smoke's and she grinned. "Kidding."
On the count of three Conall was hefted onto the gurney. Ellie leaned forward and inspected the vampire's features. A bruise was blossoming around the side of his head. Her eyebrows rose. Had she really hit him that hard?
"We'll roll him to the Bay... I'll tell Veronique in the morning that a substitute will be needed to replace him for the next couple of days..." her voice trailed off slightly. She blinked and looked back at Smoke. "Would you prefer to walk forwards or backwards?"

Smoke frowned. "He didn't hurt you, did he?" This was going to be awkward.
"Doesn't matter to me. I'm used to hauling things around on wheels."

"He would have," Ellie said blankly. She shrugged. "I'll go backwards then." She took the front of the gurney, indicating that Smoke should take the tail end, and began wheeling the gurney out into the corridor.

Smoke glanced once again at the bagpipes as he helped her maneuver the thing into and then down the hallway. They would keep.
"Mm," he looked disappointedly at the unconscious vampire. He didn't know much about the guy; Veronique had vetted him, and Himmel he supposed had met the man, but there were enough new staff this year he hadn't managed to meet them all yet. "I hope this hasn't completely ruined your night."

"The night's close to over, anyway," was Ellie's half-mumbled response. "Once we get him to the Bay I'm going to find the Headmistress and alert her to his class's new need for a substitute teacher. Maybe Vincent can take it over until Professor Conall--" an expression flashed momentarily across her features that might have been a grimace-- "recovers."
