Is Matt really just realizing now that the Pleroma might feel a way about Estinien being captured? Yes and no. It's more like the brief hours between waking up below the Citadel and coming here, during which he's begun manifesting new abilities, have only had room for so many thoughts. And most of those have been related to relief that Abel and Himeka are alive.
A relief that mingles with guilt, now. That he tries to quash down around the Regent, worried they'll read his thoughts and find him wanting (again). In the moment, Matt's nose wrinkles in distaste.
"I can see how they'd miss him. Even beyond their personal reasons ... he's formidable." Matt was lucky to get out of his own conflict with Estinien relatively unharmed, but he saw what he did to Kaeya. "But I'd hope the Pleroma aren't mourning the Innocence. They've gotta know she's too dangerous. I mean, she was manifesting again and again, stronger every time. That's not stable."
