Sorry, but a DH seat is between the company and the DHer, not the CA. Nowadays if I'm a DHer I just go and sit back. I used to pop in to say hi, but several times I've done that, people end up getting confused that I'm JSing. Or the "you're a DHer, you didn't need to come up."
I do agree that an offline metal JSer should check in with the CA.
DH is not jump seating, captain would not like my response.
On the other hand, I probably would have said HI passing the cockpit.
