While Katara adjusted her aim automatically as she came up, she's seen him work with tree shadows before, and she knows that once his shadow connects with her water - crap.
There's a moment's hesitation as she wonders - if it's ice, can he still - but instead Katara decides to play it safe.
It's way too early in the game for her to be taken out this easily. And just as the shadow of the water and the shadow streaming towards her are about to connect, there is suddenly mist where there was once water - it's a thin stream of mist, and no longer connected to her in any way, but instead she pushes it forward, hard and fast, to block off sunlight before she releases her hold to allow it to act like regular mist. She begins to draw out more water for her next attack.]
