Billy definitely does not have to be told that twice. He absolutely does not want to stay near this man, especially since he's struggling so angrily against his bonds. There's no telling what sort of fury and violence that will translate to the moment he frees himself.

So he gives Lalo a quick little nod before he starts walking. If he was making better decisions, he'd probably head in some other direction, a little unsure about leading Lalo back towards his home once more - but Billy is so rattled by the entire matter that his feet instinctively carry him in the direction of his and Hickey's house, the only place that feels safe right now.

"I--" He starts, sucking in a breath. Trying to calm himself down, if not just so his hands will start to feel less warm. Right now it feels like they could shoot fire at any moment. "I was not aware you could do all that."

Yes, sure, Lalo is a pretty big guy compared to Billy. But being big doesn't mean you're automatically good at subduing people or fighting. Billy knows plenty of big people back on the expedition who are also huge losers.

Lalo clearly isn't.
