[This world's order being defined by other worlds... Alhaitham can't say that he would have thought of it like that, but he supposes its because he didn't have the exact knowledge to have that sort of understanding. To be honest he still can't quite grasp it, but that's what research is for, in the end.]
Even without guidance, you still have some experience with traversal between worlds, which is enough of a start. [Of course, its hard to say if something can actually come out of that... but its certainly better than the nothing he had to start with. There may be talk of hidden planes and lost civilizations in Teyvat, but worlds are very much a whole different beast.
But that aside, its not hard to pick up on how much this talk is affecting Xehanort, and he's pretty sure that being asked about Teyvat is one way of deflection. He's more or less fine with that, since he knows better than most how ineffective it is to speak when under duress. For better or worse they have the time here to figure things out, so there's no need to rush.
He takes a second here, to get some coffee into him, shifting a bit at the same time to get comfortable. Alhaitham never minds talking about Teyvat to those who asked, and he owes Xehanort this much after the information that's been given to him.]
Teyvat is a land that's divided into seven nations, each of them ruled by a being known as an Archon. [Well, the truth is that only about half of the Archons are known to still be around now; the Anemo Archon has never been seen for hundreds of years, the Geo Archon has passed, and the Hydro Archon recently stepped down from her position. But Xehanort doesn't need to know any of those extraneous details.] Each Archon holds dominion over one of the seven elements that make up the world, and are said to have the authority to grant humans the power of a Vision. Humans who own a Vision are then able to use the powers of the element that the Vision bears.
[A brief pause as he hums. What else can he say here...] Unlike your keyblade, Vision holders do not have any means of being instructed in how to use their Vision, because everyone's Vision is unique to themselves and functions completely differently. There are some basics that can be shared, but anything beyond that is simply innate and usually found through trial and error.
[Alhaitham certainly had to take a bit to figure out how to work his Vision. Kaveh... he'd never really asked, though he can't say he's ever seen anyone use a Vision in the way his senior has. Not that that much is surprising—Kaveh wouldn't be who he is if he ever allowed himself to conform to the ordinary.]
