Evvie switched her staff to her left hand as she swung it outwards in order to deflect the water that was arching towards that shoulder. With the staff's high durability she considered it unlikely that the water would be able to outmatch it in a clash. While this was going on she noticed something else speeding straight her way, possibly the same type of water tendril. It would be hard enough to use her staff to defend against one of them, far less both coming from different directions unless she was able to get a good spin going, which wouldn't happen in time. Instead she opened up her jaws and let loose her torrent of flames to intercept the spot that the attack was coming from. It would have to survive the intense heat long enough to clear the remaining distance, but just in case it did she began to maneuver herself further backwards and ready to take flight if she was able to knock the left tendril away from her and where her wings would have to spread outwards. 

Her armor would be fully formed within a second by now.
