There there is another person from our world whose progress I believe would be greatly inhibited if he were to learn my true identity but equally might be uplifted if he knew Venti's.
It's a very slippery slope and why I asked for the contract.
I would ask that you not speak directly of these matters to anyone but myself and Venti. Generalities are at your discretion. And that you do not purposefully use this to cause him harm. The intent is important here - as this production likes to give us the illusion of choice in various forms.
And in return I will be as truthful as I can as long as it does not violate any of my other existing contracts.
I do not trust the magic that the production would use to bind a contract, and if I might be so bold, I have handled a number of them on my own. I do not need a third party's assistance.
I'll be flattered anyway. Here, let me at least heal up your hand.
[Moving to leave the pool of water and take care of that gash while he walks, it's fine, healing mostly functions on its own without any careful examination needed!!]
[He doesn't seem to mind at least, following after, still a bit fishy but otherwise plenty human enough to walk around just fine on dry land it seems.]
Venti and I are the last of the original seven Archons - each one of us overseeing one of the nations of Teyvat. I met him over 2,000 years ago on the border of our two lands after he and his friends defeated Decarabian - god of storms.
The other archons have... fallen over the years. And new ones have risen up to take their place.
When a god dies, their energy returns to the land. If done so voluntarily, that energy can be redirected in ways that are beneficial - leaving behind a legacy. But violent ends cause violent disruptions of energy and can scar the location in devastating ways. In addition, remnants of their will and strong emotions continue to exist well after their passing.

Do you need to get a Taisho for it?

The one time I witnessed a contract of that nature, it was very unpleasant.
Though I can prepare documents if you wish something to formally sign.

But come.

Let us move at least out of line of sight of the main cameras for this event.

Ah, thank you. It really was not necessary but I will do nothing but praise your tenacity on looking after myself and my unit.
We really do need it, don't we?

Maybe for starters, how are you two connected, anyway?

Archons themselves are gods after all.
