"Another?" Mat laughs, pretending to hem and haw as if it's some great burden. He exaggerates it, though, obviously putting on a show for humor's sake.
"Well...I think maybe I could manage another..." He just needs to think of another that's appropriate for wee ears. A large number of Mat's catalogue is bawdy songs and love ballads, which are always popular at taverns. Not so much in children's wards.
"But how about something a little different? I'm a many trick pony, as it happens!" He sets the harp aside and reaches for his clubs instead. He can tell Jon's trying to get into the spirit here. He can also tell it's not exactly something that comes easily to him. Time to give him something to focus on.
"Jon, come here, grab the little hand drum out my bag. You can drum a beat for me."
