Charlie invokes the secret language of the beast, and uses a combination of audible sounds, sub-sonic communication and body language to communicate unto a creature how it would with another of its species.
Due to spiraling mutations and the recent information that had come to light about the actions of Genwyld, Charlie had stopped taking her pills that were supplied after every contract. And yet, when this almost drove her to retirement, someone happened that nobody expected. Voices from the trees, the birdsong itself was made language to her, as vulgar as they were. The animal sounds made while fully transformed? Those were understandable as well. Every noise by every beast were now a language she could hear if she took the time to listen.

With a mask covering his face, it is almost impossible to tell that his eyes have been replaced by a creature whose origins are shrouded in mystery and his presence instills fear by those who know of the danger: Goose, the duck. Of course, this is all just exaggeration, but the perception of Icarus' long lost animal companion hold true to their rumors, granting supernatural marksmanship and weakpoint targeting to the half-orc.
But trauma never goes away without lasting effects, or visions of what you have lost. In times of terror and grotesque physique, the eyes of Goose see under the surface, laying the path to much worse than meets the mortal eye, leaving the woefully unprepared more vulnerable.
