[bits and pieces, at least. enough that ... well, she might not understand the exact things of what he's saying, but a general gist of it. hopefully.
he does seem upset. and it's because she didn't know - but it's not her he's upset with, because it's not her fault that she didn't know; somewhere in between the knights and the council, somebody probably should have informed her of it beforehand, because it's kind of an important thing to know; her sole guardian cannot call for help, cannot communicate with her without his hands free.
it has the potential to be a serious problem. but the fact that her first instinct is to look for something for him to write with is a little naive; a lot of knights are not skilled at reading and writing just because a lot of what knights do (i.e. hitting bad mans) doesn't require it, and that's a skill that is largely relegated not only to nobles - but nobles who need it.
rion isn't even a noble, which is unusual enough for a knight... but he does know. it's pretty understandable given his affliction, and her guess is completely on the mark.
he nods enthusiastically - it's a bit like a puppy or something. he's really excited about somebody being that concerned about him, and even moreso that it is THE PRINCESS. because she's you know, a princess. that's a pretty big deal to him, and she is rewarded with the dorkiest, brightest smile that he can manage - which frankly looks weird on a royal knight.]
