"We'll work together," Rise said, forcing herself to keep very, very calm in spite of her instincts. "You and your friends get to be free, and we'll protect you. We'll even help your friends eat. All you have to do is work with us a little, okay?"

Don't make any demands, don't raise your voice, just keep calm...Rise does her best to communicate this to everyone else psychically, even if she's tense as a coiled spring herself.
