[By Shaw's standards, this is practically effusive, but she really is grateful (not to mention a bit surprised) that 2013-era John so readily offered her space. Back then, she was still in her "destroying burner phones and refusing to allow the team to contact her outside of predetermined work hours" era; she's aware that she hasn't actually earned herself much goodwill in his mind.]
[ It is strange to see the word "thanks" from Shaw, but it... feels good? If that's how he ever feels. There's a gap between them still, she's a stranger in some ways, but clearly that's not the case for her. He knows how disorienting it is to be somewhere like this suddenly, to have no one, that was his first couple days before he found Harold and things turned around. So he wants to extend that branch to her too even if he's not the same person she knows. ]
