Gordon Won't Teach Me Keyword "Cyclone"

[The Immortal King]

I completed Mysidian Tower and traveled to Fynn to rest and re-stock. Went to the castle and scried in the mirror to hatch the Wyvern then went and talked to Hilda and Gordon. I know he teaches it from other versions and Hilda even says the word, but can't learn it. I also know it is needed for the remaining chests in Fynn and if you want the keyword achievement, it is also needed. Help?

Gordon's a jerk, he left his own brother for dead at the start of the game.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think you probably have to inquire about the cyclone BEFORE hatching the wyvern egg -- since logic dictates that you shouldn't arrive at the realization that you need the dragon before you've learned about the cyclone, with all the hints being dropped about flight or entering from above. Doing things early or out of intended sequence is a sure way of locking yourself out of learning certain keywords -- happened to me with Ultima.

Yeah, I was hoping someone would have an idea since I already know how finicky this game is about progression and triggers for dialogue among other things. What is more irritating is that Hilda even talks about the Cyclone along with other characters, but no, Gordon has to teach it.
The part that sucks is you can't save in locations and my last save before current is before entering Mysidian Tower, T_T.
