Devon hasn't even considered the fact that writing could be impacted by the same unknown cause of the language difficulties in the first place. He's just running with whatever option he can think of.
When the writing comes across, he can feel the shift in the water's position and can easily make a mental picture of what it looks like in his head. That way he can "read" it without actually being able to see it. A blush appears on his face at the comment that his magic was impressive, and he pointedly ignores the remark.
"Probably a lot. I don't know what I'm supposed to do."
He "writes" the return response by placing his finger into the mud mixture and allowing his magic to alter the shape of the water. His normal writing would likely give him away as blind. Without being able to see, the letters easily overlap and shift so they don't remotely resemble a straight line.
