Lafayette has been a noble all his life, and has very little understanding of, or sympathy for, the low peoples. That said, he does understand the zeal to prove oneself, and hearing Jon's story will make him congratulate him on his vision and drive, if a little... condescendingly. He means well, really.

If his sympathies are anything Lafayette would notice, he'd appreciate sympathies toward the royalty, who he believes deserve to rule France wholeheartedly, just in a diminished, non-authoritarian capacity. Lafayette believes in democracy, he'll say, but the common people cannot rule themselves, they're a mob, uneducated and impossible to control.

The royal children, Louis-Charles and Marie Thérèse, are precocious if spoiled children, who largely seem to have no idea of the danger they're in. They occasionally escape their minders, and it's not impossible that they run across the guards attempting to protect them. They have many questions, like how many peasants have you killed, and what's your name, and where are you from, and have you ever ridden a horse, and what's your favorite animal. Overall, they seem much more interested in Jon's private thoughts and motivations than Lafayette. They are somewhat bored children. Louis-Charles, Dauphin of France, will ask for a piggyback ride.

Due to the covert nature of the BCE, Jon can contact the commander, or his fellow operatives, at any time, even recording conversations with Lafayette if he so chooses. The use of the BCE cannot be seen by non-time travelers, and it is possible to text through rapid eye movement over the keyboard, though it may look as though you're having a bit of an eye spasm if someone catches you. Still, they won't see the holographic interface or anything like that.

Conversations with the Commander, or anyone else, via the BCE are highly encouraged at any time.

Anyway, you hit the nail right on the head, it was the flight to Varennes, organized by Lafayette and the Queen. The most relevant information Jon, Dany and Ashitaka would be given: They disguised the royal family as peasants and attempted to shepherd them out of the country. They were caught when someone recognized King Louis' face from a bank note, and have been imprisoned in Paris ever since. This caused a massive amount of unpopularity for the royal family, as the people of France felt the royals were 'abandoning' them. This is probably a major factor in.... everything that's going to shit right now.

Anywho.

The flirtation between Dany and Jon would be noticed, and not really discouraged, though Lafayette would have a stern comment about marrying her before any 'mistakes' were made, and some fellow soldiers might ask for lewd stories. One jokes about how someone with such a 'plain' face like Neige could get someone so pretty to notice him, does Jon have any tips? Another asks if Dany has a sister with similarly bad taste.
