"Ah, good to meet you, Sarina." Ben set his fork down, holding out a hand to her. He was a little surprised to be greeted by someone with knowledge of their defense, but he supposed it wasn't improbable. It did probably mean that she wasn't a regular student, though, given how recently they'd been admitted. "Surprised you heard about that, I've got to say. VPD and KPLT handled the end of it, but I guess Ozpin and Goodwitch thought it was worth a second chance."

Well. Oz did. Goodwitch didn't look like it.

A slight smile accompanied his response, but a loud bell rang before he could say anything more. His eyes moved from the door, to his food, and back to the door. Almost disappointed, he sighed. Looked like he wasn't going to actually get to eat all that much of his lunch after all. He carefully pushed his chair out and stood, picking up his tray and looking back at the group near him.

"Guess that's class. Pleasure to make your acquaintance, Sarina, but looks like we've got to go." He crossed to a trash can in a few steps and dumped his tray, starting to retreat backwards towards the door. This was mostly so he could look at his team while he (slowly) left, but that was probably obvious. "I think we're splitting up for the afternoon. Pretty sure I've got Grimm Studies, so I'll see you guys when we've got a shared class. Or after the day's done, still gotta get our room assignment."

Throwing Team Bastion a thumbs up, he turned and stepped out of the cafeteria, following the director notes towards his classroom. Grimm Studies was a fairly common class, as far as he knew, so finding it wasn't too difficult. He arrived only a minute or two later and took a seat near the front, leftmost edge of the classroom. His reasoning for the choice was simple; he was close enough to see, but also not near the center of attention.
