Honestly, it would have to be something where if it failed, it would hurt Billy, I think. Because Loki is such an awful person. Or I guess if it could like blow up the whole village, that would count too since there are a couple people there Loki cares about (including Rogue).
I think the factors that would get Loki to go tell other people he thinks there is a problem would be things like: a) Billy going behind his back to do something (because he's never done that before and that seems very uncharacteristic)
and/or
b) Billy doing something that could have potentially hurt a lot of people and then acting like it's not big deal (because Loki would find that uncharacteristic of Billy, not necessarily because Loki would give much of a shit if 95% of people in the village got hurt)
and/or
c) Billy basically saying he doesn't need Loki any more because he's way too awesome for that (mostly because Loki would be so fucking butt hurt about that it can not even be expressed in words)
...if that makes sense.
So more like changes in attitude that tell Loki that Billy is getting a bit power crazy, particularly since Loki knows his control is still not the greatest even if he's been working on it. And if he feels like Billy isn't going to listen to him any more, that would be major motivation since he doesn't want to get magically turned inside out just because Billy thought of a cool thing he could try and thinks it can't backfire.
