This silence is painful. Quite literally, in fact.
Frodo could feel it- an ache inside at Sam's behavior. While he could certainly understand why, to some extent, it still stung him all the same. How could he possibly convince his friend that he was indeed Frodo, though from a different 'time' in Middle-earth? What was making him doubt him so much, and why? Could he possibly do anything to fix things between them...?
From Sam's behavior now, it seemed rather unlikely. Even during a squabble here and there, Samwise never acted this way towards him. Never...
So he sat there for quite some time, looking to his feet. It took quite a bit of courage for him to say anything else. "...Are you upset with me, Samwise?"
