Haha yes, yes she would. Jay would be a bit blurry but Ciara would be able to make out who it is xD Yes he needs to close his eyes bcause he isn't the one that castes the spell. 

Now if he castes the spell he would be able to see her without closing them. He should be able to see her and the surroundings will be blurry too. Also he doesn't actually have to talk. It's mental so that he doesn't have to worry about getting caught.
