Jax swaggered up to a carriage, decided it would be a good idea to sit in it, and pushed open the door. He surveyed the occupants, a smallish girl with brown hair and a couple of nerdy looking first years. He cracked his knuckles, and Gerai and Raoi stepped forward. Hiding a smirk at the fearful looks in the firt year's faces, Jaxio placed his hands on his side. menacing. "It appears there isn't enough room for us all" he said, glaring at each occupant in turn. No-one said anything, but he noticed the girl slowly lowering her book to watch him. He continued, "and you know what that means..." dramatic pause, "you lot are going to have to go. Goodbye" He remained stock still, watching the others carefully as they reached for their luggage slowly. Then the girl - a third year like him, possibly - spoke.
"actually, we're quite comfortable here y'know" Hayley said, catching his gaze, but unable to hide the tremor in her voice.
Jaxio said nothing, but motioned discreetly to Gerai, who stepped forward to tower over the girl. She gulped, and Jaxio spoke again, his smirk widening, "care to... reconsider?" Out of the corner of his eye, he could see the first years sliding out of the carriage, looking nervously from side to side.
"w-well..." Hayley stammered, trying to keep her cool, and failing miserably.
"I'll give you one last choice" Jaxio said, as Gerai towered over her, a mute but forbidding giant. "I said: goodbye"
****
Hayley cursed herself, wishing she'd had the courage to stick up for herself, but knowing it wouldn't have made a difference. Now she had to go find another carriage, when she'd taken such care to make sure she wouldn't have to face the dreaded challenge of asking people to join them, always fearing the response. She shifted her luggage irratably. bl[zz]y Jaxio...
Jaxio lent back on his chair and gave a contented sigh.
