Aramis thanked him gratefully, blinking as the Professor just slipped around him and kept going down the hall. Professor Mervielle-Dion must have been in worse shape than Aramis had thought, for Professor Hawk to be so concerned. Grateful that the blood was off his fingers, he repacked his bag and kept the note in hand, then hurried to class.
Professor Korlianes disliked him enough, no need to add to it.

Vincent led Ellie quickly through the halls toward where he had left Valérian; coming to the right door, he looked at the healer for a moment. "I'll go in first. I don't want to alarm him if he's still tripping."
He carefully unlocked the door and poked his head inside, calling out warily. "Valérian? Are you alright?"

Valérian looked at him with a very serious expression in his pale eyes. It was rather ruined by the fact that he was standing on the desk in the front of the room and covered in chalk dust. He rather looked like a very powdery ghost. Holding an eraser in each hand like a pair of cymbals, he nodded slightly.
"Careful, Vincent, or the squirrels will get you. They're all OVER."
He threw the eraser at the floor, creating another cloud of dust and a spot on the floor. There was evidence of several others, a sign that Valérian had been at this particular delusion for a while. His black clothing was even completely white, and his hair was so coated it lacked any kind of shine. He blinked and sneezed, a cloud of dust rising from his clothing.

It was a very good thing he was an actor, Vincent thought to himself, or he would have had a hard time keeping a straight face at the sight of the tiny vampire covered from head to toe in chalk dust, throwing erasers at the floor. Keeping his face and voice perfectly calm, he stepped into the room and gave a nod for Ellie to follow him, speaking to Valérian as he did.
"It's alright. They'll probably go away soon." I hope. "Ellie is going to help you."

Ellie, her mouth quirked to one side, slipped into the room. She tucked her hair behind her ears and slouched slightly to look the vampire in the eye. She smiled at him and held out her hands for the erasers. "Now, dear, I don't imagine the squirrels much appreciate being treated like that. What have they done?"

Valérian showed her his arm, which seemed to have a mark. He must have hit his arm and slightly cut himself, possibly on one of the side bars on the desks. It was barely a scratch "They bit me."
To him, it obviously made perfect sense. Then he blinked slowly and looked around rapidly. "Heeey... where did they go?"

"I imagine they found someone else to bother," Vincent answered, taking a step or two closer to Valérian. "You'll be fine now."
He looked at the small scratch on the vampire's arm, glad to note that it was nothing serious. Ellie could fix it in a heartbeat. "You want to be careful with squirrels, they can be vicious little buggers."

Ellie nodded. "Yes, but seeing as they're gone..." She held out her hands again for the erasers. "May I take those?" If she was going to help Val, she didn't want him to envision something else to attack with them. They wouldn't hurt, but...

Valérian looked at the eraser he still held, then handed it to her. "Okay."
He sat on the desk, his legs swinging slightly and his hands resting easily at his sides. He sneezed again, covering his face with his hands as another cloud of dust rose up. Unfortunately, this just triggered a large cascade of other sneezes, until he would have been crying if he was still capable of it. "Oooww," he sniffled, sneezing again.

Vincent winced slightly as Valérian succumbed to a violent fit of sneezing; clouds of chalk dust drifted around the room. He rummaged in his pockets for a clean handkerchief, not wanting to give the vampire one that was still soaked in blood. Finding none, he used his sleeve to carefully wipe some of the fine white powder from his friend's face, especially his nose. "There, is that better?"

Valérian sniffed again and gave a slight sound that was more squeak than sneeze and nodded. "Merci, Vincent."
He sighed and looked at his clothes, his eyes widening. "Mon Dieu, what happened to my clothes?"

Vincent sighed silently and half-smiled in relief, noting with gratitude that Valérian's eyes appeared to have returned to a normal state, and he seemed himself again. "Apparently you were fighting an army of imaginary squirrels." He started to attempt to help dust the vampire's clothes off, but soon had to stop as he inhaled chalk dust and began coughing.
"Aagh. Good grief. Well, I'm glad you seem to be right as rain again, at any rate," he smiled. "How are you feeling?"

Valérian shrugged, then paused. His eyes unfocused slightly as his head tilted to the side. "What...?" he said softly, looking confused. Looking around, he just looked more confused. "Can either of you hear that?"
He moved to the side slightly and jumped down, moving toward the door. "Hey... hey wait!" he called, hurrying a little toward the door. He stopped at the door, remembering that Vincent didn't want him leaving, though unsure why. "Where... did you go?" he asked softly, looking thoroughly confused.

Ellie frowned, then composed her expression. Ah, so the effects were having a second wind.
"He went to fetch me," she told him, taking a small step forward. "I can help you, if you'd like."

Valérian looked at her. "...No, because it was a she. And you were already here. But... it... I swear it was my mother... except she was speaking English, and ma mère never knew it. She had a low opinion of the English..."
His expression turned distressed. "Ellie... I don't understand. What's going on? Imaginary squirrels, voices of people long dead in languages they did not speak... What is wrong with me? I... I haven't gone mad, have I?"

Ellie shook her head and said calmly, "No, of course you haven't gone mad. You're just a little bit sick right now-- you ate something you shouldn't have by accident. It's no one's fault. If you want me to, I can fix it--" she snapped her fingers-- "like that."
She paused then, watching the vampire.

Valérian's shoulders sagged slightly in relief, his head tilting to the side. "If you can, then please do. It seems to me I have been acting very... oddly, and I do have class to teach. Probably should not do that while I am seeing odd things, or hearing things..."
He shook his head, another cloud, though a much smaller one, rising from his hair and clothing. He blinked and looked at his clothes. "And apparently I need to change. How did I find so much chalk dust?"

Ellie nodded and rested her hands gently to either side of Valérian's neck. There was not much of the hallucinogenic blood left to be digested-- her magic neutralized the dregs of blood still there and cleaned out the traces of it left in his system. There was a scrape on his arm-- she took care of that without thinking.
Ellie pulled away, smiled, and batted some of the chalk of of his chin.
"There," she said, straightening. "Better?"

Valérian blinked, shaking his head slightly to be certain it was clear. "Thank you very much, Ellie. But... what exactly happened? I remember most of it, and what happened before... But I've never had blood... do that to me before."
He looked at Vincent, noticing the poor man's shirt was still covered in blood. He wrinkled his nose. "You look a mess, Vincent. You should probably go clean up before going to class..." he paused, glancing at the time. "Not that much of this class period is left..."

Vincent tried to his his guilt and embarrassment when he looked at Valérian and replied to him. "Well, I broke my nose, and you drank my blood by accident and went on a little acid trip. I'm not entirely sure of everything you saw. I locked you in this room so you wouldn't go wandering about and alarming anyone, for your own safety. I met Aramis in the hall and he healed my nose, and then I went to find Ellie and brought her back here to help you."
He paused. "So evidently I'm now a mage, though heaven knows when or how that happened. Mage blood is highly hallucinogenic to vampires. You're lucky you only had a mouthful or so. More could have been very, very dangerous." He shivered a bit, remembering Conall, and then looked at Ellie. "Thank you very much for coming, Ellie."

Ellie gave Val another once over and, satisfied, turned to Vincent. Yes, he very well could be a mage. She needed to speak with him about that.
"It's my job, Vincent," she reminded him, smiling lightly. "I like doing my job." She took a stride towards him and leaned up to inspect his nose. "Hm. Aramis did a good job," she noted. "But," she ran her fingertip once along the bridge of his nose, and the red discoloration and swollen skin ebbed and faded. Aramis had probably been in a hurry when he'd done it. Still, the cartilage had healed in line and there were no broken blood vessels left. Ellie made a mental note to congratulate Aramis when she saw him next.
"Now, I suppose it would be good for us to...ah, leave this room?"

Vincent sighed and smiled gratefully as Ellie finished what Aramis had started, and the last of the pain left his nose. "Aah. Thank you very much. Yes, I think we really should leave the room now. I need to shower and change, and then you and I need to talk about things," he said, looking Ellie in the eyes for a moment. "And then I should probably speak to Smoke."

Ellie caught this and nodded. "Come to the bay after your classes are finished," she told him. "We'll talk then."

Vincent nodded. "I'll do that. Thanks again."
He tipped a nod to Valérian and left the room softly, knowing the vampire would be fine with Ellie. He hurried through the hallways toward his apartment, avoiding people if he could, not wanting to alarm anyone with his blood-soaked shirt. A hot shower and a clean shirt would do him a world of good.
