Possibly not, but while he typical takes a more idealistic view himself, the realism doesn't offend Enjolras. His only issue with negativity stems from when it directly contradicts his own view points and serves no other purpose than to force people to wallow in their own pathos. He offers Damian a small quiet smile. It's not confident, exactly, but he certainly doesn't seem afraid either. "Yes, it could certainly be worse. I am no threat to you there, however."

And he means it. The incident with that poor woman last Arena aside, Enjolras has no intention of killing anyone here. He might defend himself if attacked, but likely not against a child. Damian seemed capable (and certainly wary) enough, but Enjolras didn't think he could live with himself after the fact if he purposefully hurt someone barely older than Gavroche. "I find myself unsuited to this environment. I suppose that makes me easy prey."

Fighting, he could do. War, and revolution, were things for which he could even feel passion, things for which he did feel passion. Meaningless games meant only for entertainment or intimidation of the masses however? Those left Enjolras feeling disinclined to participate on any level Better to die quickly than to live at someone else's pleasure.
