He lets her run towards him, waiting to follow the curve of her movement before he lunges forward with a twist of his body to deflect the blow with his shield at an angle so that his shoulder doesn't absorb as much of the shock.
Her weapon gives her better range than his, so rather than approach from the front he steps back and gestures with his sword hand. Vibrantly colored purple magic starts to swirl from the fingertips and under Grays' feet, and once formed a large circle with clock hands ticking down aims to send shocking pain through her at every second she remains standing in that spot.
He's focused enough on Gray he almost misses Rand's entrance, until there's channeled wind blowing past him. He looks back at him with a quick look of acknowledgement, but right now they're in the fight.] Let's clear the way!
