Turtlepaw was delighted at the adorable squeak and took it as a sign that Cowpaw was satisfied with his answer. He'd stumbled upon someone in the clan, though he could not remember who, as a kit and learnt this stuff from them. (I think their name was NPCpelt).
Turtlepaw appreciated the gesture of gratefulness. It always made him happy to see other cats happy. He grinned brightly. He knew his brother would not see the value of this skill had he been here but Turtlepaw knew it mattered because it made someone happy.
Now...regarding the words. Turtlepaw probably wasn't the best syllable giver since his lisp didn't even let him pronounce the word syllable correctly. But Cowpaw seemed satisfied with at least a few of them as Turtlepaw saw him mouth a word which, after some serious workings of his bug-filled brain, he concluded was merploom.
"Yef! Merplom doef found almoft like a real word!" he pointed out excitedly.
