He returns that comment with a confident, reassuring smile, excited now to see Yoimiya in action against a real opponent with her archery skills and her new abyssal weapon at her disposal.

All that hype gets dampened by her next question though. He sighs and looks down for a moment. She did remember, it was the one thing he was hoping she'd forgotten, but there's really no use in hiding it now that she knows. He thinks for a second, trying to figure out exactly how much to say and how to say it. Knowing about the gnoses doesn't put her in any danger, but...]

Yes...the gnoses are tools and symbols of an archon's power, granted to them from Celestia to help rule their designated nation. You remember that fiasco in Liyue? The whole reason it happened was in exchange for the Geo Lord's gnosis- we the Fatui would follow through and reassure him that he was safe to step down from his role of the Geo Archon. Thus, the plan and set up to push to me summon Osial, Overlord of the Vortex.

There may have been more to that agreement, but its contents are unknown to me; only Morax and Her Majesty, the Tsaritsa know the details of their contract.

[He's absolutely trying to drive the conversation away from why the Fatui want them >.>;;;;;]
