[She's grateful that he waits for her, lets her calm herself down if she moves - if he hadn't, she would've stopped then and there. Even if she's strong-willed, her lingering panic over hurting people would be too much to push back.
Lapis doesn't want to do this, but she knows she has too. There's been too many people who got hurt already because she wasn't strong enough, and she can't let that keep happening. She just can't, even if Setsuna doesn't want her to experience this. She'll go through anything, as long as it means that nobody will get hurt because of her weakness again. At least her dodging skills are already pretty good, so she won't really need to worry about that - dodging ghosts requires quick reflexes after all.
Though it seems like Setsuna has even quicker reflexes, which isn't really a surprise. It's why the moment he grasps her leg, she stops putting force into the motion, knowing that trying to struggle would be a bad idea. Instead she simply moves with his motion, showing no resistance before hoping back once he lets go. Simply nodding at his words as she steps back once more - she already knows how difficult it will be, that this will be painful and exhausting. But she's simply too stubborn to ever give up. She'll push past any pain that comes her way.
And while she knows that he'll want to see her fight without her weapon, right now she still wants to test how strong, or less strong, it becomes as she uses more mana. So once again, she uses the power of her stockings to launch forward, this time aiming a kick towards his head - her dancing experience at least meaning that she can get her leg up that high with ease.]
