[You're lucky she's awake. And loves that expression.]

Yeah, I noticed! Were you thinking of getting one?

[For himself, she means.]

[Honestly? He was ready to accept the idea that she might be asleep and he'd have to wait until later to tell her, but he's clearly overjoyed when she answers - the grin is even bigger, full of more teeth!!]

Not thinkin' - I did.
Gonna pick a segment, pay someone to put a teeny house there, 'n make it huge with them house expansion chou-chouts.

You got some o' them too, right? For makin' houses bigger?

[well gee, wonder why he's asking about her house expansions]

Oh, yeah, I've got a bunch stocked up! I can totally give you some.

Good, good!
You gonna need to decide how your room's gonna look, too.

[Said with his eyes crinkling up a little - just a microscopic change to his expression making it clear he's messing with her, telling her about it this way.
Surprise, it's not just for him!!]

-You mean the guest room?

[She will later blame not being swift on the uptake on it being 5 AM.]

Nuh-uh. Your room.

I mean, we gonna share the bedroom, 'course, but I'll wantcha to have your own rooms if you gonna live there part o' the time, y'know?
Maybe a nice, big closet for ya, too!

[Hey, at least he clearly thinks this is very funny. He's even got a bit of a wheeze to his voice as he talks - a sure sign that he's "laughing" a bit while speaking.]

Oh! Oh, you want me to live with you? Getting a house together?

Oh - oh wow.

[Please hold. She is entirely blindsided by this.]

Mais, yeah! I been thinkin' 'bout it a lot... y'know -
I like my li'l shed, but it'd be good to have somewhere else to go if I gotta! Have more space for my shit, too - more space for the critters to run around.
DJ's gettin' antsy, just stuck all up in the shed.

[(In the distance, the sound of a Varoom revving its engines and knocking something over.)]

... But as I was thinkin' 'bout it for myself, I thought, y'know...
I'd like it a lot if you were there, too. 'N I feel like you need a place you can go if you gotta.

You deserve a home away from home when ya need it.

'Cause, I mean... where you s'pposed to go when home's been weird 'n difficult, ouais?

-I love you.

[Wait, no, that's not a coherent answer.]

I mean - I'd like that a lot too. It's - it's definitely a lot, but... I'm really happy. If you want me there, I'd like to live with you some of the time.

[That grin of his softens out some - which means it loses the edges that make it into a "grin", flattening to more neutral, but Evangeline should know this is a good expression.
Soft, warm eyes above it all.]

Love ya too, yeah. 'S why I'm doin' it for us - I wanna do everything I can, make sure your time here's as happy as can be.

[There's a little quirk of his dialect, of course; not adding "yeah" to brush it off, but for emphasis.
"I love you, too - and I mean it".]

... You gotta Segment you really like? I ain't picked one yet; I got no preference, 'side from no Winter.
Can't handle the cold, me!

You're so sweet. It's the same for me, you know - I want you to be so happy here you don't know what to do with yourself.

[She adores him.]

The spring segment might be nice? Somewhere warm and flowery.

Awright, Spring Segment it is! I been lookin' at that one, anyhow - 's got a lot of teleport crystals, 'n makin' sure we out near one is important to me.
Gotta make sure we can both get back to Nightwake ASAP if we gotta, right?

I wantcha to have a nice, big house on a nice, big property, but I don't wantcha to feel cooped up there, neither.

[...

And also, he does really enjoy the idea of having a yard filled with flowers that he barely has to add to himself. ... That said -]

Speakin' o' makin' you happy, though... you got any plants in particular ya like, too?
I know I wanna get some magnolias up, once we got the plot picked out.

I can also get us some mirror paths back to my house in Amberfall and your shed? I think that'd be convenient.

Favorite plants... I like dahlias, for sure. [She touches the dahlia in her hair.] And, um - can I try growing the seeds Louis gave me?

Love the sound of all o' that, for sure! We can get all set up with mirror paths 'n everything, make sure we can pop in wherever we gotta be, whenever we gotta.
But, ehh...

What seeds he give ya, again? He got some weird flowers back home that he liked... some of'em were real weird.

The packet had a golden rose with different colored centers? It didn't look that weird.

- Oh, those ones, okay. [Said with relief!] Got a li'l worried... back in the land o' the dead, I know he had some flowers called "dolls' eyes"?
Them things watch ya whenever you walk by, react to Orange magic. Not great to have in a nice yard.

"Blooddrops", too. Pretty flowers, but they seeds drop on folks 'n drink they blood 'til they sprout.

[Louis does not collect Normal Plants, obviously.]

... The gold ones, though - don't remember what those're called. But they said to be lucky!
Dry out into golden metal once you pick'em, too; folks love pickin'em and sellin'em as pins 'n on bracelets 'n shit.
I don't mind havin' those 'round at all, I'll help ya get'em started!

Oh, okay, I understand the concern. Wow.

[Don't have blood-drinking plants in your yard.]

Thank you, Jean. I don't know if I'll be able to nurture them right, but I want to at least try.

Yeah... we got some weird fuckin' plants back there. Don't help that they made up by Gaurdians on the fly.
I know the Boss made some really weird shit when he first started testin' his powers... got cute li'l glowin' star flowers around his tower, but they bite ya to get around.
Like burrs, but y'know...
Bitey.

[Their world is so cursed, Eva. It's so cursed.]

I'm happy to help you out, though. Anything that'll make ya happy - and those'll look real pretty 'round the entryway, I think!
They're climbin' roses, like wrappin' around stuff. Stems and leaves're gold, too!

That sounds really nice.

Is there anything I can do to help get things ready?

Hmmm...

Well - any rooms ya know you gonna want for sure?
'Side from the staples, I mean. We obviously gettin' a kitchen 'n bathroom 'n shit.

Can I have a library? I've got a lot of books.

'Course you can! You want a library? You gettin' a library!

[... Said as he looks down at something in front of him, clearly writing or drawing as he says as much.
And if she were to make a guess as to what, she'd probably be right -
He's currently working on the full blueprints for the house, literally as they speak.]

Anything else? I wanna do three floors -
Two above ground, 'n a basement! Maybe a sub-basement down the line, if I need someplace that can get real hot for my metalwork.

Um, um. It's us, so a room for the kinky sex stuff that's easy to clean? And maybe a room for training...?

Mm, mhm, you right - ain't thought o' that one, me.
Good thing I wanna add a big ol' basement. Linoleum good for cleanin'? Or should we keep it stone?

[Stone sounds pretty easy to clean... mostly...]

And for trainin' - what kinda trainin'? Second floor okay for it?

Stone's more aesthetic for the sex dungeon vibe.

Something with training dummies for my scythe and targets for my gun. -Although, I wouldn't mind training against robots if you don't mind them getting damaged.
