Valerian did not expect the team to follow his orders; he had hardly been with the team as they functioned with Guren, as he'd been alone with Lyn doing recon work.

He knew Eleanor had met her to some extent based on what Jean had said and Eleanor's interactions with him, but he doubted Rai knew anything.
