"I will never say no to teaching people how to use a Kaeleer-friendly weapon that has a little bit of range to it," Jono replied, looking relieved. "As a matter of fact, the moment we have a little time in edgewise, I'd like you to teach me how to use one, too. It'll be one less thing I need to use my collar for, later."
The downside to having high-tech artificial powers was that he needed to carefully ration just how much energy he used. And, realistically, he didn't mind. He understood that it was stupid to just take off and fly all willy-nilly just because he missed doing so. But then there was the depowered mutant in him, headblind and ripped away from the immeasurable raw power he'd once possessed, desperately needing some means to compensate.
Asking Momoko to teach him how to use a slingshot to good effect was just as much practical training as it was another way to get his head around being cut off from his powers again.
