言深 is not "deep in conversation", that's an unfortunate attraction
"He was deep in conversation with a comparative stranger"-- that would make for a strange idiom.

LA says 指言談深淺欠缺考慮,不夠得體。例 「拜訪客戶,最忌交淺言深」。
Other dict says 形容为人忠厚或愚蒙
Maybe it is better to add nothing

Editor: I left a comment on the RQ.
Diff:
- 交淺言深 交浅言深 [jiao1 qian3 yan2 shen1] /deep in conversation with a comparative stranger/
+ 交淺言深 交浅言深 [jiao1 qian3 yan2 shen1] /to talk intimately while being comparative strangers (idiom)/
