Blast! Jack managed to not let it show through, but he mentally cursed himself for trying to uphold that stupid tradition people had when hearing bad news. See, this was why he didn't understand it - having pity shown because of injustice of the past didn't make one stronger. At least she seemed willing to move past it quickly. Thankfully so.

He picked out a couple of things - a bit of scrambled eggs and toast, a few pieces of fruit in case he found Ariel and she hadn't eaten much, and a protein bar for later - as well as a bottle of water and a bottle of orange juice for his breakfast. He paid for both of them, shelling out the money without a second thought. There was plenty to be said when someone could pull out a wad of cash and just thumb off an amount without blinking; he didn't care for any of it considering she probably came from something similar. He hadn't heard of many families like his - that dealt in shady business at best, and made enemies like most made friends - that didn't have loads of cash; it would be more once he had his parents legally declared dead and could collect on their insurance too. 

The fruit slid into his jacket pockets - wrapped in napkin to keep them from getting covered in lint - as soon as  they got to a table. He hadn't cared where they sat, and having it be beside one of the Guardian Auxiliary demonstrators and someone that looked like she was likely to break someone if they looked at her wrong, seemed like a much better choice to sit near than most others. He had questions for the Guardian Initiate anyways.

But that would wait. 

[color=8493ca]"So, what kind of classes are you scheduled for? Being an Initiate, are you planning to stay more toward combat and Guardian Training Program courses, or are you going to be branching out into other class types?"[/color] He took a gulp of his juice. [color=8493ca]"I'm curious to see if we might have any courses together. I hear it's always good to know at least one person in your class."[/color] Especially since he knew he and Ariel didn't share a handful of courses. He'd prefer to know at least one person in each course if he could.
