I think you're missing the set up of the situation. You have no way to get that information in time for it to matter. Her mouth and ears are sealed in clay at this point and she's midway through being made into a clay woman. That's why you can't just remove the clay from her and have to smash or leave. I assume she isn't a lip reader and even if you wanted to write out "blink once for yes, twice for no. Are you ok?" or something, in the time you went and got something to write with and then made it back it would be too late and the decision would be made for you.
