"Alright, these are the easiest thing outside a snare to make."
This is a good distraction. Mat's been seeking those, lest his mind keep running to dark and tragic thoughts. As grim as it looks and as sure he is that there chances are very slim, he quite would like to get out of here. There's things worth getting back to, after all. His life had finally been shaping into something worthwhile. He's gotten the hang of his channeling. He's got Jesper. He's got a potential career as a Gleeman...
It would be far too unfair to have it all torn away from him so quickly. And not just to him. He knows he'd told Jesper their story was like to end in pain and tears, but he sure as hell hadn't mean like this.
But rather than dwell on all that, he'll teach the monster man how to make traps.
"You take one of these bigger, flat rocks here. You lean it on one end like this, and prop it up with a good solid bone. You put one of these rocks behind it, so it doesn't slip back."
