[ He does truly believe it, on most days, but he can tell he’s upsetting Jehan with his pessimism. He cares about his friend too much to carry on, but he doesn’t want to lie, so he simply tries to put a stop to it all together. ]
Please don’t dwell on it, my dear Prouvaire. You’ll find things of greater interest in Olympia than this conversation with me, but I should still like to see your drawings when you come home. Do you promise to show me?
[It's a good thing Grantaire isn't here, nor Enjolras. If they were, they'd see a sad looking boy sniffling and wiping at his eyes, taking deep breaths to try and calm himself down from an impending and potentially very nasty crying jag]
I want to see if I can that pink star plant I saw in the museum. I think it would be lovely to see again.
I'll draw her very carefully for you, so you can see. I hope it will make you smile.
[ Grantaire already feels terrible with the knowledge that he's upset Jehan. Knowing that he's made him cry would make him feel even worse. He's likely to drown his own guilt in a bottle of wine, but not drown himself so deeply that he'll be unable to converse with Jehan when he returns. ]
I truly do look forward to it. I'm sure you'll capture it magnificently.
