It's not quite telepathy what she is doing, it's speaking on the astral plane. Spiritually, so to say, just not in a religious sense. She's witnessed being understood that way before in that place; why not try again with someone who is obviously capable of magic?

She's still sitting between the faintly glowing barrier, still feeling a bit wonky, but her eyes are clear again, glowing up at him.
