I let the voices die down as the people that were in disbelief and disagreement stopped their rebuttals to what I had to say. They needed to listen to me. They needed to understand that I wasn't wrong about this. And I didn't really want to order them to do this for me. I needed them on my side willingly, not forcefully.
When the sounds of their voices finally stopped, I spoke again. I kept my voice steady and calm. I needed them to see that I was in control and that I wasn't panicking about this at all.
"Listen. All of you. Please just take a step back and listen to me." I urged them a little more into the calmness that they had exuded before. "Now, I know that this is a scary situation, but we can navigate this. I know that having the humans find out about us is not a comforting thought, but we can manage this."
