....Look, I'll be honest as I can be without sounding silly. I'm pretty sure you're the first, ever, that he's cared for like this, and near as I can tell he's barely even made friends on the Barge since arriving here after his deaths, never mind really re-learning what he likes and doesn't.

[The hesitation is there still, but he's plowing on anyway!! Is this a good idea? Is any of it a good idea?]

If you think this is the man you want to build a life with ... then you're going to have to teach him how to live. Really live, have a dream and reach for it with all he has. There's so much wonder and joy to be found in the world and he's lost touch with that.. except for you, maybe. And if he can find that in you, then you can help him find it in everything else. I'm not sure anyone else can, anymore.
