Well this is awkward. There is a pause.

"The tension between Lan Jingyi and I may have lightened but it's not completely faded. If it were brought to his attention, he may forget his ease."

Like, clearly if Jingyi heard people talking about how him and Elidibus were playing in the snow, he might regret having 'fun' with someone he's supposed to be justifiably mad at.

Clearly it has nothing to do with the idea that Elidibus wouldn't want rumors of a less... diginified manner getting to certain miqo'te ears.
