Yaga rumbles louder when Mantis gets a little closer. Cat and espurr get nose to nose with a round of sniffing, only for espurr to squeak loudly when Yaga ended it with a lick. The the little espurr locks eyes with Soundwave, pupils going a bit wider.

It's a soft, somewhat simple reply. He had done so with Mantis already, but the giant person can do it too, so it warrants an answer. Though it takes a bit of effort to make it understanable, even Mantis hears the response.

"Fran...cour? Francour?" Espurr smiles and looks between Mantis and Soundwave. "Francour. That's a French name."
