[ Not a hard trail to follow, with blood soaking Damian's pants leg, and the stains in the snow lead right back around to a broken window and a drafty study with a sword display sans one historic blade.
Damian has his options. A handful of seconds ahead means he has just enough leeway to sprint down the hall, swing around the corner to where the grandfather clock stands, and quickly turn its hands to the right time. ]
Iftaḥ yā simsim. [ Open sesame, there are the poles, and Damian's spinning down one as fast as he dares. He doesn't care if the creature follows him - he wants it to, because if it's down here, it's not up there with Pennyworth and Titus.
He needs to get word to his father, and he needs his gear if he still intends to capture this thing alive. The Cave has both.
(The Talon really had made a terrible mistake, letting Damian get the slip for even a moment. The boy will stand and fight, but he's smart, and will do everything in his power to make his enemy's life hell at the same time.) ]
