He knows it's not really her fault. If her explanation is true - and he has no reason to doubt it, because even though he can't feel what the fog is doing to people, Billy has already long ago realised that he hasn't felt the cold the way others here do for months now - then it's not like he can blame Chloe for being caught by unforeseen circumstances. By some sort of unnaturally strong fog.
But he can't help but say the lightly chastising words anyway. (It's exactly because he cares. Billy wouldn't bother to speak up if he didn't. He wouldn't bother to hold her hands, and even continue to hold her hands now, despite the way her hands feel so foreign underneath his own, especially when Hickey's are his only comparison material.)
"I will take you home as soon as we can be sure you are warm enough."
