"We were looking for the Northwest Passage." At least Billy realizes that will mean absolutely jack shit to Eren, so he supplies: "It would make trade by ships a lot easier."
Sure, there's a lot more details to it than that, but he's not going to bother someone from another world with those. Billy feels like Eren knows enough if Billy just says this much.
"Although we might be the wrong word for it. I was not particularly trying to look for it. It is just that everyone needs to make money to live in some way or another, right?" .. though, you know, most people don't exactly do that by going on clearly doomed journeys on a ship.
But Billy doesn't seem to be pointing out that fact. Instead he speaks about this relatively calmly - more easily than he spoke of the bear, considering this feels much more normal to him than that creature ever did.
