On the mission itself, it was, as noted, based on actual events and thus, Braende wasn't present (Ironically, I only mention Mag because he's the only one that showed up to bail us out. To this day I can't recall how, but I recall he managed to solo EB Requiem. I boggled).
As for the rest, while Lynna certainly sees Braende as fun to hang out with and a partner in crime when getting Valles to loosen up a bit, she's not someone Lyn would bare her deepest, most traumatic emotional scars to. As noted, V-chan barely edged in, and that's because it was dragged out in front of her and Lynna can't bear to lie straight to her face(and part of her wanted to tell her anyway, so there's emotional catharsis involved there). Quite simply, V-chan's the only person that knows about how Lynna joined the Legendary in detail besides Lora'lai (who was there), and the only person, full stop, that knows about the parental abandonment issues that Lynna has hidden, because Lynna isn't the type to lay that out in the open, even when it's detrimental to her own emotional well-being. Braende could certainly be present in the house at the time, but Lynna would've firmly refused to say anything until it was just she and V-chan alone, even if pressed on the matter. She likes Braende. She loves V. That's a crucial difference in getting her to lower her ingrained defenses.
