"Yeah, okay." 'Long story,' right. He can believe it. At least it was well-timed, Daniel can give him that. The edged anxiety of combat intermingled with the sheer unexpectedness of the thing had simply been so - jarring.
"It's - that whole thing, that - is also long story. Bad experiences with, with phasing," he mutters, but that's about as far as he's willing to take that explanation at the present time.
He's starting to worry that the city itself won't actually be safe due to how eager the rebels apparently are to fire on populated buildings. Yet he can't think of where else they could go. They can't afford to move too far from the gate's current location and whatever passes for a standing government now would be situated here unless it's been dismantled already, and they're completely isolated from Earth. Daniel doesn't have the rest of SG-1 with him on this one. They're on the other side of the silent gate, trying to navigate the red tape to get the military firepower to extract him, or to approach the rebels diplomatically, except Daniel has tried diplomacy and look where that got them.
He pauses for a minute, paralyzed by indecision, then moves in the unerring direction of the city. He simply doesn't have any other ideas.
"Keep behind me," he warns Seth, completely unnecessarily. If they get hit by a close enough explosion, it won't matter where Seth is standing in relation to Daniel unless he's close enough to phase them again. As wary as Daniel is about the thought, it's still the best defense tactic they have.
