Hey, I've been through a lot worse than this. I'll be fine. We already know how this goes. There's nothing to worry about, right?
[There's dozens of things to worry about, and Claude is worrying about all of them at once, but...if he says it'll be fine, maybe he can convince himself.]
[Okay, well. Some of those may be factual statements, but... none of them is particularly comforting when Grant really doubts that Claude believes everything he's saying himself.]
Hang on
[Just a minute to excuse himself - telling Chip that Claude needs help with something and he'll be back later, which is not untrue - and then he hurries to Claude's room. He won't wait too long to tell Chip; the sooner they know, the better. But right now, he wouldn't be able to take the time needed to make it as easy as possible for them to find out. One thing at a time.]

I'll be fine. Felix is the one taking it hardest.

Are you sure? I don't doubt that it's worst for Felix but that still leaves a lot of room for doing.... not great
