[He takes the spade with ease, spinning it over the back of his hand as he reeled back and grabbed it again in a rare case of showmanship. At least it had the practical implication of letting the momentum wear out so the Talon himself wouldn't fall back.
Before he give the spade a swing of his own, however, the curtains are covering him-- it's not exactly restrictive, and he's already taking his knife to the fabric to rip himself free, but it slows him down and he loses visual.
His stare is blank as always as he watches the boy tumble out the door. But there's a slight jump in his chest-- that could almost be construed as panic if he were in the business of being in charge of his own faculties.
He rips the knife through the fabric with more force, more zeal, until he's freed from its grip. He abandons the spade on the wayside and follows the boy's trail, hopping onto the window sill and barreling out into the snow and rolling through the drift once he makes contact with the ground.
Ironically, he appreciates the open space more. But he can't let the boy get away from him, and he immediately starts following the trail left in the snow. He shouldn't have even let him have the chance to run away.]
