Well, Billy is definitely putting 'never messing with Chloe' right on top of his list of priorities. It's not even like he was ever planning on doing so, but this display truly surpasses anything he imagined. Even when she said before that she was willing to fight any of the other members of the expedition if they would give him or Hickey trouble, Billy definitely did not imagine this.
It means he's only just managed to get back up on his own feet - initially in a feemble attempt to help her, only to be too late since Chloe already finished the fight - when she moves over to him, and that he's wearing a rather stunned expression on his face when he looks at her.
"Yes, I--" Rather than finishing the sentence, he nods. His throat still weirdly hurts, and he moves up a hand to rub at the angry red marks on there. And while he can definitely explain what happened here, Billy feels like he should first ask: "Are you?"
Sure, Chloe was incredibly tough just now, but it's not like Billy didn't see that she got hit as well in the process. And he cares enough about her to worry.
