When Elain is with Lucien, she can choose her own adventure and mold whatever life she wants because Lucien is that versatile with his life. Lucien left the Spring Court for her, which means he is loyal to her.
If Elain wants to leave the court and lead a simple life, Lucien proved he was willing to do just that for Jesminda.
If she wants to learn how to be a spy, Lucien is already being described as one by Feyre.
If she wants to be a courtier or an emissary, Lucien has had two court experiences where both his presences had been immensely helpful.
If she wants to throw parties, Lucien has been described as the only one who actually enjoys them.
If she wants to visit other courts, Lucien has close connections to Winter, Dawn, and Summer.
If Elain wants to be a High Lady, Lucien is heir to the Day Court, where she has already expressed she wants sunshine.
If Elain wants to live again in the human lands, Lucien is connected to its two leaders who can ensure their safety.
If she wants to stay in the Night Court, Lucien can continue his duties at the court he currently is in.
If Elain wants to travel, Lucien has been everywhere, including the other continent.
If she wants to be a warrior, Lucien offered to train Feyre how to use a sword.
So when Elain said that she needs to become reacquainted with her powers, Lucien already proved that he trusts in her abilities, and he felt guilt over letting Feyre down from the last time he promised Feyre he'll help.
Perhaps what scares Elain the most about Lucien is that, for once, she isn't being dictated on what to do or how she needs to adapt. Elain has shown she can make any place into a home, and since making the Night Court into a home for her has proven to be a herculean task, maybe she doesn't want to admit that maybe home is with Lucien after all.
