The smile he gives Romeo is a bit mischievous, amused that the young boy tries to consider Esteban's lack of love for reading; though maybe not in quite the right way. He's not a fan of the written world just because Esteban prefers movement, it has little to do with the trickiness of books. Though he supposes a book where he might need a dictionary nearby would be a hassle he wouldn't want to deal with.
"Maybe," he agrees instead, "but th' library might not like me borrowin' books. I take foreeeeeeever t' read them." Mainly because he forgets. "How 'bout you tell me all 'bout it once you're done instead?" Cut to the chase. "I listen a lot better th'n I read."
That he can guarantee. He loves listening to people after all, most especially his friends, and Romeo is definitely someone he wants to count among them.
