Mat, too, would much prefer to bring smiles to those who need it than labor in a tunnel. He's practically a gleeman, and that's just what those folks need. Maybe he ought to make himself a proper coat...not that anyone here would know what it meant. Not at first. Anyhow, Jon makes a fantastic counterpoint to his comedic flare. Funny always works best when there's a counterpoint fellow.

Mat has not yet learned the term 'straight man'.

"As dramatic as that could be, probably best to hold off indeed. Could end up a touch chaotic." He has his bag slung over his shoulder as well as an instrument case - his lap harp, the smallest of his instruments.

"But I've got the whole bag of tricks with me. Juggling clubs, some story props, cards...poor mites deserve a proper show."

The sort that taverns usually pay him for.
