so far it doesn't look like holing up is necessary anyway. but we can still keep an eye out for them, reach out, ask if they need anything. they've already done the hard part. now they just need people on their side.
[Shaw's work with Harold and John had taught her the value of protecting individual lives, and that's partly what she's calling on here. But even more than that, she's thinking of values she'd internalized before she'd even met them: first as the daughter of a refugee who'd escaped an oppressive regime, and then as a soldier who'd sometimes worked with defectors and informants trying to work their way to a better life. She doesn't think the people from Solmara are likely to be in immediate physical danger. But some of the reactions on that post - both those calling them disloyal, and those calling them untrustworthy - strike her as very firmly wrong.]

[ Now isn't the time for a joke like "But I'm not making them dinner" and he trusts Shaw will know how much she can promise on their behalf. Or she'll ask first. He doesn't need to micromanage her, even if that's what he might do at home. She's been part of the team long enough from her perspective and he's trying to respect that. ]
