Oh, sure, he could start with 'hey, how are you?' or maybe 'how was jail for the past four days?' but even with time to think about it since hearing that Erik had landed in jail, he's simply confused. Not surprised, because he knows there's probably a deep well of rage down there that Billy's barely seen a bit of, but he sees Erik this young as a chance to steer him down the right path.
