There's something kind of nice about the way the other greets him, Daniel thinks. It had been hard to imagine people who might be happy to see him after everything that happened back home, but now he's seen Lan Xichen again in this place, it really does seem like the other's face is lighting up the moment he witnesses Daniel.
.. definitely kind of nice, and it makes his own faint smile widen a little, clearly encouraged.
"I wouldn't exactly thank this place as much as the people in it. Some doctors have helped me a great deal." And Daniel certainly wouldn't want to take away credit from them, only to give it to a city that doesn't seem to care to do much of anything other than to feed them.
He steps a little closer, stopping right in front of the other. If Lan Xichen allows it, Daniel moves his hand to place it on the other's shoulder. Maybe a little too familiar, but.. well, Daniel can't help but want to find a bit of familiarity here, and Xichen had been so kind before.
"And, of course, I also have to thank the person who truly helped me out on my first day here." Guess who that is! (Xichen, of course.) "It really means a lot to me, even now."
