"Ruh, beni gözüm," the woman repeated, chewing the words in her mouth before she spoke as she tested the foreign pronunciation.
"Ve kulağım." Thanks mostly to Arla already pulling the spirits closer, Xoie could feel a shiver over her skin reminiscent of the way she knew the ur-spirits were drawing near. It had a different edge, though, and she took that as a sign that things were heading in the right direction.
"Gibi dinle," she finished, speaking the last words with a steady voice and as if she were commanding something. Supposedly she was, but it felt like she was saying nonsense into the air. She had to trust that Arla was right and that her pronunciation of the words was at least okay enough to make sense to whatever was out there.
"Be my eyes, be my ears." She could only impose so much meaning into the words she spoke without knowing the language, but she could manifest her will around her. Her mind waited like a hook for a fish, and when she felt a tug, the Dathomirian grabbed onto it and held fast. There was a short period in limbo - the spirit would not come but Xoie would not relent - until her eyes blinked wide open to see... her legs?
Standing before the albino woman was a creature of shadow - a shade just like Arla had described - no more than two feet tall and shaped like the echo of fox. But Xoie saw the world through the eyes of the creature, and it tilted its head up to look first at herself, and then Arla.
"It worked?" The words fell from her mouth, but she heard them through the shade's ears. What a weird and wonderful sensation!
