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!
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.
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.
- 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!
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!
'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.
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.
[Reaches back behind him without looking, grabbing one of his four (4) only ball robots in his claws, and crushes it in his fist like it's nothing. What is the point of robots if not to destroy them, really?]
How big you want'em? I can do big-big! Maybe not too big, if we puttin' it up on the second floor...
[He's happy to provide! Even bringing all the gears around to play with them a little, parts of it still sparking and crystals - the robot's "circuit boards" - still faintly glowing in his hand.]
So big, but not too big. Mmm... You-sized?
[...
Look. She might be teensy for a person, but she'd be pretty damn big for one of his robots, okay. He specializes in little helper bots!!]

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

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?
