Gavroche's answer is to an interpretation of the question that had honestly never occurred to Enjolras. The daily business of one's day, very well, there's food, there are books, there's nature. Bossuet is from the barricades of les Trois Glorieuses; he's from a time and place that matters; so far as Enjolras is concerned, the only important things to discuss are ones that matter likewise.
(Bossuet's health and wellbeing are on that list. But they're not the only items.)
His brief and faintly bemused glance at Gavroche doubtless shows this opinion, but he lets the boy finish. Bossuet may as well know that information as well. Why not?
He folds his hands beside his cup, tasted once for sociability and then for the moment forgotten. "Now we come to the strangeness again."
"You see, you came from the 27th of July, 1830. I can say for certain that you're not dead, that you'll return in good health, that you'll find us at the Hôtel de Ville a little before 7. The reason is that I came here from June of 1832."
