It's almost funny, the way she can feel her pulse picking up, her breathing coming a little faster to accompany the jolt of adrenaline from before. SEES doesn't really fight people. Even when they were fighting Strega, they were fighting Persona to Persona, not hand to hand. But long nights in Tartarus meant they couldn't only rely on their Personas -- more often than not, it was more efficient to fight enemies with weapons to save their stamina. Hopefully Chuuya's training has helped her become better at reading people, and not just Shadows.
Mentally, she switches to Helel -- logically, she knows it won't make a difference, but he's quick, strong, and resistant to physical attacks, as well has having some of his own. It's more habit than any actual belief that it'll make a difference.
The logical thing to do would be to block. He has to be expecting that. When they fought on the beach, he'd liked feints, hadn't he? So instead of blocking that initial strike, she dives forward and to the right in a roll to dodge whatever attack he had planned. She comes up onto her knees in the dirt and whirls, snapping her naginata around in an attempt to catch him at the ankles and sweep him off his feet.]
