Actually that's the exact reason I wanted them to fight together-so that Elfman will move past what he did to Lisanna, by protecting Lisanna instead of hurting her this time.

Of course, there's the danger of Lisanna becoming a burden again and needing Elfman to save her in that scenario, so it should be handled very delicately :P
