Well I'm bigger on Safety and Loyalty than I am on love so I'd say Elinor mainly wishes for too much perfection while she's teaching Merida. Plus that Elinor doesn't let it depend where they are so there are scenes of her not allowing Merida to be herself which can make lessons and difficult situation harder Elinor isn't patient with Merida. Areas like the Falconry I'd consider private enough to allow Merida to laugh. Elinor shouldn't make speech feel hard while Merida just isn't used to seeing an audience. Merida doesn't gloat she just shows her pride actively while sword fighting with her father. And just like her father says even a princess should know how to protect herself she shouldn't have to be a boy for permission to shoot arrows.
