[he doesn't go far. long experience, both before, during, and after Yama, has given Robert a knack for finding spaces he can take shelter within. he finds one now, a small space that cramps a grown man like him, especially wearing armor- but it's a place where he can pull off the helmet, suck air in to his lungs, and for at least a few minutes, struggle to not be sick.
he doesn't completely succeed, but he swallows it back down, puts his face in his hands, and breathes.
this isn't a safe place by any means, but it's a place where he can let the shaky walls down so that he can build them back up as quickly as he can. it takes a few more minutes, but he finally does. and when he puts the helmet back on, he hears Hiro's breathing.
god, what has his weakness cost this boy, the one whom he promised himself that he'd take the blood for?...forcing him to clean up after him. despicable.
Robert swallows again before speaking, and when he does, his voice is quiet;]
If you need to be sick, there's a sewer grate over here. On your five.
