It really is all they can do here, right? Be lucky. Be there for each other. It isn't easy, and it certainly isn't a guarantee that bad shit won't happen all over again - which is probably the part that gets to him the most, out of everything. It's much easier to feel a little bit more at ease when he feels like he's at least got some control, but Billy isn't quite sure whether he has any here at all.
He frowns. His hand moves to twist the ring on his finger just a little bit, like he often does when he's nervous. It helps keep the flames from coming out.

Not really this entire situation, because-- well, they're both dealing with it now. It's more likely he means the more recent and specific topic of someone who just loves getting themselves into trouble. Billy does kind of figure that is Chloe to other people who have to deal with her, but considering she does seem to have some more impulse control than Hickey, maybe she does have experience with this. Maybe there's some more tips hidden somewhere, anything that can make Billy feel like he can do something to put himself more at ease.
