It's a lot to take in - this sudden change of appearance in his former partner and yet it's all remarkably familiar. Dan never needed to see Rorschach's eyes to know when he was being judged and how often it occurred. Yet if he had to have imagined a facial expression it probably would have been something like this.

Of all people, Dan can understand the need for secrecy, but he doesn't understand why such secrecy was taken around him and especially in such a city where everyone was bound to run into everyone else. "Does anyone else here know that you're... you?"

That sounded much less eloquent than he intended.
