There is a substantial silence at the end of that, Lapis looking a bit frozen. She doesn't know what she was expecting, other than the question potentially being a bad idea; she's not sure whether it was or not. None of that was awful to hear, but...
well, she doesn't know what to do with it. There are reasons she generally can't bring herself to care what anyone else thinks. If this had been a terrible idea, if she had found the answer really objectionable, Jean is someone she'd be very comfortable telling to shut up and move on, but it's not that. Maybe she just wasn't expecting that level of thoughtful analysis. He may find her mysterious, but it makes her feel kind of exposed. Of course, it's not like she goes around giving out details about her life or her history, so what else was he supposed to do?
Regardless, the moment must pass like all others and Lapis does eventually manage to answer.
"Huh. All right," is what she says, very very blandly. That level of non-response could be construed as a sort of 'shut up and move on' of its own, perhaps, but in another moment she adds, "You're... not bad to talk to." Almost reluctantly, as if that's the one time she has to explain herself or something,
