He looked a little surprised when she took the stone, eyebrows raising. Her words, along with her hesitance, drew a laugh from him, and he grinned at her. "In case I hurt someone, you mean," he pointed out, not looking the least bit upset by the implication. She really didn't need to worry about that with him, he wasn't a complete manchild. "You're right, safer that way. Alright-- let's see what I can manage, hm?"

He took a few steps aside and tried to mimic her stance, then started twirling the sling in much the same way she had. It was difficult to figure out how fast he should be going, but he did his best to come close to what she'd managed, then once he had enough speed, he threw the sling forward. It had no stone, of course, so there was no way of knowing where it would have landed, but the sling seemed to cut cleanly enough through the air. Not as precise as her throw, he was sure, but still.

He looked at her, waiting for her to correct whatever mistakes he might've made. "So how bad was that?"
