When this didn't work I'd eventually talk to her normally, but by this point I was pretty peeved at her inability to understand even the most basic telepathic instructions. This happened A LOT.

EDIT: Right-Track, that's not me. That's the captain... (the captain is a one-eyed dwarf, he's throwing dice along the wharfe).
