"There's no shame in it. I enjoy my fun!" Mat simply smiles, as shameless as he claims to be. He likes to fuck, and he has ample opportunity to. It's nothing he's made any attempt to hide.

"And it is a good cover, that explains lengthy stays and any odd noises and me coming out of it sweating and tired." Bow making isn't exactly easy work, it's hard labor.

Mat's cautious agreement stems from one thing, really. If he's not in a position to defend and help himself, he's entirely certain Jesper really will try and storm the castle to rescue him one of these days. Though the meeting they'd all had... it had opened his eyes to the fact that despite his low profile, he likely was in some form of danger. He'd already offered archery classes there, may as well jump in with both feet.

He rather feels as though he's going to get fucked either way, might as well try and do the right thing for once.

You do you, man.

"It's more safety than I could provide you." Mat may have the best chance at having cover than any of them would. "So, you get the cut wood beforehand. That's the biggest time drawback. You said otherwise it wouldn't take you many days... but it's something to spread out over time to keep the suspicion down. Ideally a few for those that aren't strong in magic or physical combat. Something to give maybe some advantage."

He taps the bow against his hip. "Can the wood get 'too dry'? Or rather, does it have to be used at a certain point, or can it just be collected, worked on, and ready until needed?"

"Leave it out long enough, yeah, but it takes well over a year so I don't imagine we need to worry about it. If it stiffens up you just wet it some and rework it." Mat shrugs one shoulder. He's clearly not concerned about that.

"It'd just be the getting it into the castle in the amount we'd need. Could start with just one, and see how it goes. Don't need too much wood for one bow."

And one weapon is likely a lesser offence than say five weapons. One is a project. Five is the start of a stockpile.
