[ It isn't just seeking cover, but her choice of cover -- for an instant the illusion that she's been hit hard by the blunt of Samehada appears, but that instant shifts to the fading image of her body into the branches of the trees. A substitution was hard to pull off with that narrow of a margin, and from her new hiding place she had to breathe a bit before attaching chakra strings to her metal.
How does she want to use it? Does she want to strike at him, or does she want to use it defensively? Ideally she'd want him on the ropes, so an offensive strike would probably be more effective, but...
Screw it. Instead of thinking about it too much, Adela bursts out behind him and, with her sword in its sheathe, begins to use her kouton to spider metal out in a thin and sharp web to strike and try to control where he retreats to. The further back from her he is the better, but her range only reaches so far... She has to be smart if she wants this plan to work. ]
