When the fire stopped and dissipated, Niks took a short moment to locate Evvie beyond the hanging fog. After he was certain where the humanoid was standing, he released the cough miasma, passing underneath the fog and towards Evvie's torso. However, before the spell hit, he saw that the girl grinned before her wings snapped back and then a gust of harsh wind was blown to his face. While the wind did nothing but blowing dirt to his face and forced Niks to stumble backwards while using one hand to cover his eyes, it had caused his spell to steer off course as it curved away from Evvie's torso and headed to her left side. Thinking that the wind was her attempt to run away while hindering his sight and chase attempt, Niks grunted as he started to take several steps towards Evvie.
