[The circles he draws for him. Of course. They are games, after all, and dangerous ones at that. It would be irresponsible to ignore them, even if they are peevish.

Sherlock knows that many people find the nature of their relationship fascinating. Multiple people have remarked upon it already, so he assumes Moriarty wishes to know the nature of it. Of what it does, of what it means to him, whether it means he cannot think as clearly or if Watson is some weakness.
Of course, she could merely be some assistant. That too is up in the air, isn't it?]
Do you wish to know the nature of our relationship? Her accomplishments? Whether I am any less enjoyable because she is in my life? I know you think little of the conundrum. You yourself are perfectly opposed to Holmes, after all; so why wouldn't Watson be an excluded factor?
You'll find your answers in speaking to the other Moriarty. You see, it was not I who ultimately led to her arrest, to the ... admittedly temporary sabbatical from her games.
Otherwise, if you wish to hire Watson, you'll find her to be a quite capable consultant. Unfortunately, I do believe she is particularly choosy about who she seems to help. The name Moriarty will come with some concerns.
