Welcome! I don't have a whole lot to add that hasn't already been said but since Relius is one of my favorite characters in the series I thought I'd share how I read that scene. When Gen says "jealous?" I think he is gently teasing by alluding to the not-so-secret love (of the non-mentor variety) that Relius has for Attolia. In other words, he is saying "jealous of this love/relationship?" Then with (safely) dead seriousness he shows Relius that he HAS that love/relationship.
I also agree with checkers comment regarding Gen's understanding of fearing one you love as heavily informing the exchange.
