Domination pumped through those veins as he crossed the room, coming to a stop only inches away from Nick with that cold steel gaze locked upon him<strong>Is there a problem, boys?</strong>Nick and his friends would look Jacob over before Nick spouted off<strong>Just who the hell do you think you are, you overgrown ape!</strong>Jacob would remain expressionless, it wasn't about him, it was about making sure nothing put a hitch in the Sole's Regret farewell show.  The pub had already begun to fill, the buzz starting as the band rehearsed.<strong>I think its time for you and your friends to get some air...</strong>Nick was obviously feeling ten foot tall and bulletproof, fueled by alcohol and probably a strong case of 'blue balls', and would step directly into Jacob's face, foul beer breath assaulting<strong>I think its time for you to sit down before I knock you down</strong><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;"></span>Jacob's head would shake at the stubborn jackass, quickly assessing just how tight Nick was with his friends and what they might do when he snatched Nick up by the neck and threw him out the door.  Before he'd get the chance to find out, though, the pub owner would decide it was time to step in between Jacob and the others.  Pete knew Jacob was a brawler but not really a troublemaker.  Still, he couldn't afford to have anything happen inside his pub.<strong>Jake, take a step back, man, Dave and James should be here any moment, I pay them good money to keep the peace around here...and you guys, why dont you all go home, sober up a little and come back later, its Sole's Regret's last...</strong><br/><br/>Nick would snap toward Pete, once more acting before thinking<strong>Sole's Regret sucks!</strong>Nick's friends would realize he had overstepped with that, moving to force Nick toward the door before the entire Pub came down on their heads.  Nick would glare at Jacob once more, as if to threaten to see him later, before pushing past him.  Jacob would take a moment to smirk after the drunks had gone by but then the thought that Jinx was outside dawned on him.  Turning on his heel, he would walk a few steps behind the guys, a reassuring wave to Pete's concerns.  Jacob didnt intend to start anything but he didnt know if Jinx had left or just stepped outside and he'd not give Nick another chance at her.  He had only met her for a moment, but she was a co-worker whom he'd be crossing the country with and, even more, he didn't like guys who didnt at least have some manners around women.
