If he's going to call her bluff, then she's going to give him what he wants. There's really no reason not to. The way she figures: He can't hurt her, and she's skilled enough to avoid murdering him.
He falls back into a ready stance, and she takes a step back to drop the sword's sheath where it won't be in the way.
And then she's whirling around to slash out at him with her sword, aiming high to give him the chance to duck. Hit or miss, she follows through with a stab towards his middle, ready to stop short if he doesn't move. It's a bit of an easy start, but despite seeing his target practice, she doesn't actually know how well he fights. If he matches her opening swings, she'll take it up a notch.
