Evvie fell for the trap; hook, line, and sinker. Turning her head, she put on a confused expression when nobody was there, and she had plenty good enough vision to spot him if he was...unless he was hiding off in the water somewhere? No...maybe he just hadn't gotten close enough yet...

She turned her head and was about to make a statement that she couldn't see him so perhaps this woman should clarify his current position, when Evvie saw a tendril of water getting poised to lash out at her. Startled, she jerked her body towards the right just as it carried out it's evil intentions, piercing into the left side of her abdomen just below the ribcage. She let out a grimace as she held up the gauntlet on her right wrist, breathing a quick burst of fire into it. The flames and metal quickly engulfed her body as the gauntlet began to magically form itself into a suit of armor perfectly fitting over her figure. Luckily this would also serve to cut off the water tendril inside her body from the source, ceasing the attack from progressing any further.

Due to the circumstances of the battle she decided to leave her wings unarmored at the fleshy, "wind catchy" parts, as she would call them, so that she could retain her ability to fly. She also left her face open so that she could breath more fire and not restrict her vision. Lastly, her feet were also left bare out of habit and it was the beach, so wearing shoes here would feel doubly weird and could lead to her destruction, probably.

With her armor formed and her staff held at the ready as she more carefully examined her opponent. She had lost enough time to do so that another attack could be coming her way at any time if the woman was quick enough. If there was nothing new to defend against, or perhaps even as a defensive measure depending on the circumstance, she would shoot out her flames to try and envelope her entire body within them. The 30 feet between them was not far enough to avoid a flamethrower and a flamethrower was no match for her, meaning it would quickly and easily be getting some revenge for Evvie if all went according to plan.
