Grantaire laughs, as this seems like a very good point. "The landlord owns the building," he points out. "If I change anything and they don't like it -- or they have to get into the room in an emergency -- it falls to me to pay for it."
He looks at the windows. "Though," he says in a slightly conspiratorial tone, "I doubt they'd know if we just improved on the windows a bit."
Gavroche's bluntness is hard to argue in the face of, and Grantaire thinks this is probably something he's going to have to steel himself to. "I don't know," he admits. If he objects on the basis that he can't possibly take care of a child Gavroche will probably be offended.
"I think I'm likely an awful choice to spend much time with," he admits, laughing, for that is part of it. He drags Gavroche in for a wrestle of a hug and says seriously, "But if you truly want to brave it, I can't find an objection."
