He recognizes Yuber from the description Litchi gave him, as brief as it was. Yuber... is protecting Nu?
Robert's brain doesn't have the time to focus on this fact. All he has to go on is that Yuber is there and about to slaughter him. Pure panic or not, though, he doesn't run - he does immediately back off quickly, hands up to show he doesn't have a weapon, doesn't mean any harm, can't fight. As he's doing this he's switching his journal on, surrepitiously as he can, so it can pick up his voice in case he gets attacked... or worse.] Please, Yuber... she's injured. Her lung... it's punctured. [He's still backing away. There is no way he can run fast enough, not with his condition, but he's already put a sizeable distance between himself and Nu's prone form (and the angry demon).] I... did not witness the attack, merely the aftermath.
[More planitively:] Please do not harm me, I was merely attempting to give medical assistance... [He's absolutely terrified and it shows in his features, the way he's cringing away, continuing to put a wide berth between himself and Yuber. He's still worried for Nu's sake, even if she's associated with the demon.
And now he's terrified for his own life. Is he going to die at the hands of this barbarian for trying to help his apparent friend?]
