Seth seems to hit a wall. He's still angry - at what, he's not even sure anymore - but he can't think of what to say.
Daniel's damn right it's safer, so why shouldn't he do it? Of course it's safer, but it seems pointless to agree, because he knows what Daniel would say - or at least he knows what he himself would say, and maybe he shouldn't assume Daniel would too, immediately after Daniel calling him out on doing just that.
It might be safer, but it's not necessarily better, because by shutting himself off he also shuts out all the positive stuff. He knows that, and he's been trying not to do it, but clearly he hasn't succeeded. It's ingrained in him, and not something he can change just like that.
He deflates a little after Daniel's reaffirmation of their friendship. "I know that," he answers, scowling at the floor. He's not sure how they got to this point.
