Kadaj was unlikely to progress in either field if he continued to squirm awkwardly when explaining his issues with the subjects at hand.
"It is not unusual, according to what I have read, for individuals of certain elements to struggle with specific others," he told him, looking thoughtful. "Ice, Thunder and Aero are all opposed, in one way or another, to your own Element. Fire remains my weakness in casting, so that you can use Water spells is a good start."
He frowned when he considered what Kadaj had said about the letters. That he knew the alphabet was a decent start to his education, but that he actively struggled to make sense of the written word despite being able to memorise whole passages of Kuja's recitals suggested that his problems with reading went rather deeper than he realised and were entirely unrelated to drive or intelligence. It would take some investigation, but Even suspected that he knew what his trouble might be.
"So is knowing the alphabet," he said, more gently. "It is not unknown for intelligent people to struggle with reading despite wanting to learn."
