Elle's right. Dan doesn't want anything organized, not here, not at the Wilderlands. He worries that if he tries to organize something, it'll be hijacked or seen as hypocrisy, and if anyone else tries to organize something he'll be browbeaten into going along. Informal, ad hoc, improvisational - those are the terms he wants things done on here.

And so, phrased as it is, he does love Elle's idea. He enjoys being an ambassador or a tour guide. He loves to show people the best parts of the world. He loves drawing their attention to the good things, because he knows well how precious they are and how easy they are to lose sight of.

"I was talking to Miguel a little, and it seemed like his version of New York - Nueva York - was way different than what I know. I been lucky enough that most of the places we been ain't too far off from what I'm familiar with. I know that that's given me a leg up that others don't got."

Dan's aware he's smart and clever, but he's also just been very lucky in terms of what the powers that be have thrown him into. He hasn't needed to adapt to fast technology or languages he can't speak or ecosystems hostile to his own body like some here have.

"Besides, who don't want to see the Grand Canyon?"
