Girls, will you stop making a fuss? It's five minutes between shuttles for safety, I will be right behind you." I said to the two of them. In order to not cause a scene, I thought it best I go on my own so that one of them can't use it against the other in their current rivalry.
I could tell by the way the two opened their mouths that they were about to rebuttal, but I raised my hand and went. "Ah! That's the end of it. Get in." I said, with a sharpness in my tone that caused the two of them to not dare even breathe as they picked up their bags and hastily made it to the shuttle.
Once the door was shut behind them, by one of the Phalanx, I smiled satisfied. Considering I was usually quite nonchalant about things, when I raised my voice, it had a greater impact. As I watched them leave the hanger, I turned to the nearby general and thanked him.
