There are a whole lot of answers to that questions, and all of them feel kind of awkward to give Eren. Not because Billy has absolutely no trust in the other, but more because they all just are objectively awkward without context, and even the context itself is.. a lot. Sticking it to the homosexuality feels the safest, considering it doesn't seem to bother Eren, but that applies more to one of the others from his world rather than the group as a whole. And misrepresenting the situation could be bad, in case Eren ever gets in touch with said others.
So he slowly exhales, deciding to go for the less safe answer - hoping that it won't screw up the slight bond they have gained so far.
"We were all on an expedition back home. One to the far north-- a very inhospitable place." It's not something he would usually have to explain, but Eren does seem to come from a very different world than his own.. Who knows if they even have a North Pole! "But the people in charge, the commanders and lieutenants, many of whom are in this place.. They were terribly incompetent. They were getting more and more people killed with their decisions, and I-- I too was dying because of it."
He talks a little slower as he says that. There's something about him that seems.. timid, or sad. Maybe it's just difficult to recall all of this, even though it's such a long time ago now.
"So I suggested to Cornelius that we should start a mutiny, so we could save ourselves and the men who wanted to join us. Obviously those in charge are not very fond of the fact we did that."
