"I'm not a frontline fighter," He frowned, evaluating the ease and accuracy in what Parker had done with her ring. It was unthinkable to him that it could have been that easy--to imagine a precisely constructed object such as a lockpick being made at a glance. Subconscious calculation was one thing, but one's imagination had to have blocks. He figured he would reply on simple shapes, instead. His strength of mind came from rationality and basic physics were his bread and butter in his work.

"I'll admit that the tool itself is extremely versatile but what good is a lockpick if it glows that brightly? I'd rather keep my non-powered tools on hand, just in case."

That said, he did consider what Parker said. It would be hard to keep himself from direct confrontations constantly.

That was why he wanted more contingency plans.
