The other approach I like is more Pascha-esque with engagements in 2nd; but for the Fabrisian, this is a good way to go.

No she's just going offline with the back foot since it's off the lunge.
For me, a lot of "which foot I move" comes down to weight distribution. If the weight is more on the back leg, it's easier to move the front foot, v/v.
Since she lunged, weight in on front foot, so she moves offline w/back.
