I think Roman got swallowed during his speech for thinking about Cinder and what she can do (part of what his ramblings were about). Yes, he could have been scared over Ruby's determination to not give up, but it didn't seem strong enough or to strike him very hard. I think Roman's speech just was super negative overall... He was talking about how the world is a shitty place, so it attracted a big Grimm. Ruby was also getting hit and was likely in pain from it, so more negativity for the Grimm to feel like showing up. I didn't think of that. That could be why it went for him. Still though: He deserved a better death at the hands of a hero not a random Grimm.

For anyone saying Raven is Cinder's master, I doubt it. Qrow know her well and spoke with her. No way she's go full dark side and he not be able to tell. I think when he said she was dark I think he meant more like how Blake is. More depressed or less optimistic.

EDIT:

Also, the writers and animators gave no FOX for this entire episode and likely the rest of the season. I'm starting to think he and Sage will never have speaking roles. He's  there for like one second. You see him fly by going to help Yatsuhashi face a Griffon.
