They do mean something to him. The most important thing they mean is that, since they made sense, she can read the handwriting. That means he needs her to not-hate him enough to agree to help him, after this, and that means he shouldn't say that where she's from is the Fade and whatever world she believes she remembers does not actually exist.
(That is, also, only his opinion. But good luck convincing him he's not right.)
"Where you're from," he repeats—and it sounds skeptical, despite his total awareness that he should avoid sounding skeptical, because he just can't help it. "What is magic like?"
She takes a moment and reads to herself, and nothing in this book makes sense. However, that serves the purpose of making it so that when she answers him, she sounds distracted. "Only the priestesses do it, and the Caipora, I guess, if that's what you call what it does. They can make things happen." That's not very descriptive, so she looks up and tries again. "Mostly illusions. And some like. Magic that doesn't seem like it's magic but just really coincidental coincidences."
