Runo was grateful for Akila's sort-of translation, since he officially had no clue what was going on. Since the newcomers didn't appear to be any kind of threat, though, he stepped away from his position in front of Shea. Honestly, he probably wouldn't have been able to do much more than take another few hits, anyway, so he wouldn't have been much of a good defense at the moment. 

As he looked on curiously, however, he soon noticed something and started to shy away from the entire group. Those awful air-burning things were back! Having still not recovered fully from the previous destruction of his throat, he certainly wasn't willing to risk further injury, but where could he even go to in this enclosed space? 

After looking around a bit frantically, he clutched at his shoulder again and tried to make his way back to the door. He wasn't sure where he could go, and he regretted not getting the chance to learn more about the newcomers, but considering everything else up until now, he couldn't stay there with something that wanted so badly to kill him. He would rather go wait in the tank where he wouldn't be bothered anymore.
