He looked back, meeting Daniel Jackson's accusing gaze. "I know."
Something unintended must have shown in Teal'c's expression. Because the fury in Daniel's eyes died, replaced with a mixed expression that pained Teal'c more than the previous righteous anger. "Okay."
...Teal'c wished to question what caused Daniel to accept his explanation; he dared not question for fear of learning the answer.
This is my favorite part. Daniel knows EXACTLY what it is to know something in your heart and gut and be unable to provide proof and thus be discounted. I love that he's willing to take Teal'c's word for it, that Sha're would have suffered, perhaps died, and all in a way that Daniel himself has no reference points to understand. Gorgeous moment between them, and that Teal'c isn't quite willing to go there is so sad and gorgeous.
