There's a level of safety here with him that she cannot compare with anyone else. Evie would trust no other with fighting magically with blindfolds, and she certainly wouldn't have proposed the idea herself either. But here they are, aiming recklessly, sure of their own power and what they can do with it without injuring each other. It's as intimate and meaningful as a trust fall, but instead with choreographed moves and instinctual pulls.
Deimos' laugh makes her grin, satisfied and vindictive. However she can tell he's moving by the sound as it trails off, and she hesitates before making the next move, unsure of how far he has moved and what land he has traversed. It is her downfall, completely overcome by the water that bowls her over ass-end into the snow with a squeal that turns into her own raucous laughter. Struggling up to her knees Evie reaches again for earth, not nearly so worldly and powerful as Deimos, and commands the roots beneath to grow as fast as possible and try to wrap around any limb they can reach. Hoping she's at least somewhat on the mark to avenge her now soaked clothes and wet hair stuck to her face.
