question:  How does Kolin feel about Ashlew?
context: Despite sour feelings for the space service of Haurtoz, steward Peter Kolin had to admit that casualties might have been far worse. It may be useful to discover temporary sources in this area of natural foods." Lack of complete loyalty to the state was likely to result in a siege of treatment that left the subject suitably "re-personalized." "You will scout in five details of three persons each," Chief Slichow said. "Every hour, each detail will send one person in to report, and he will be replaced by one of the five I shall keep here to issue rations." The maintenance of a proper viewpoint was a necessity if the Planetary State were to survive the hostile plots of Earth and the latter's decadent colonies. Kolin found himself in a group with Jak Ammet, a third cook, and Eva Yrtok, powdered foods storekeeper. Since the crew would be eating packaged rations during repairs, Yrtok could be spared to command a scout detail. Chief Slichow emphasized that the keepers of rations could hardly, in an emergency, give even the appearance of favoring themselves in regard to food. Ammet followed, and Kolin brought up the rear. For all Kolin could tell, he and the others were isolated in a world bounded by the rocky ridge behind them and a semi-circle of damp trees and bushes several hundred meters away. "Be a job to find anything edible here," grunted Ammet, and Kolin agreed. Yrtok paused to examine some purple berries glistening dangerously on a low shrub. Fifty meters away, Ammet sat beside the bush with the purple berries, utterly relaxed. Ammet's head lolled loosely to one side. Kolin straightened up and beckoned to Yrtok. As he reached her, whatever Yrtok was examining came to life and scooted into the underbrush with a flash of greenish fur. She pawed at him weakly, eyes as vacant as Ammet's. When she began to smile dreamily, Kolin backed away. At first, Kolin saw no way, but then the network of vines clinging to the rugged trunk suggested a route.
output:  He is hesitant but drawn to him all the same.
options:  He does not trust him because he has many features not standard for trees.  He is hesitant but drawn to him all the same.  He is certain that Ashlew is trying to trick him.  He trusts them, as the highest ranking person in this new planet he has met so far.
