Oddly enough, none of them will take issue with this at all! Passei is glad to have a Guard presence along on their trip, although not out of a sense of fear for her safety. Ashem and the doctor are more reserved around a Guard member, choosing not to talk much if/when the topic of the Guard comes up. Ashem has a packet of papers he will keep close and not let anyone read, whereas the doctor will not discuss their craft - in particular, Institute training - around a Guard member.
