It probably took far longer than it should have to get breakfast, but Ariel was never good at being assertive. Well, that and she still wasn't comfortable engaging people that weren't Nola and Jack. It was part of why she never actually raised her hand when an instructor asked for a volunteer or answer. She may have known what she was doing - particularly when it came to witchcraft courses and the biology courses she was taking - but she just couldn't bring herself to do it. 

With her toast, fruit salad, and bottle of orange juice paid for, her gaze drifted over the cafeteria and those in it. It was tempting to go and just sit with Jack and Lennox, but she didn't want to interrupt. Jack could be having a very pleasant conversation with the girl. She highly doubted he would do or say anything to rub Lennox the wrong way. He always did his best to make things easy for her. 

Luckily there looked like there was still a table or two empty. When in doubt, she figured it was best to just eat by herself. They had two classes together, anyways, so missing breakfast together wasn't terribly bad. She wasn't thrilled about it, but it was better than interrupting whatever Jack and Lennox had going on and making a complete fool of herself. 

She placed her tray onto the table, then slid gracefully into the seat with her messenger bag resting on her lap. Whispering a soft blessing over her food - a habit Nola got her into as a superstition that it would take away any problems food might present - Ariel began to eat, taking tiny bites of her fruit. She still had fifteen minutes until her first class. Plenty of time to eat properly.
