People could be wildly speculating on reasons why Velvet's team wasn't there. Remember: Ruby and Yang are not present during history class and Blake is also absent whilst we do not see Ren, Nora or the rest of Cardinal. It's possible that Velvet ate alone simply because her timetable was too different. They could have been in History, Grimm, Combat Theory, Alchemy. Hell they could've been on another practical trip akin to the one RWBY, CRDL and JNPR go on in Forever Fall. That doesn't need to be a grandiose explanation.

And I agree. She appears to be timid and docile from what we have seen of her. It's unlikely she'd go out of her way to shut Cardinal up. It's likely something along the lines of "If I ignore them they'll eventually get  bored" or just a general more mature outlook (How many of you who are between the ages of a 18 and 22 would react to Cardin's comments if they came from a 14 to 18 year old?
