At first he is silent, regaining his breath, than a sound came from his throat, Rhys wouldn't know what it was at first, than it grew, chuckles as he started to clap his hands slowly, as if congratulating him before it turned into a full all-out laugh, amusement could be seen in the veteran's eyes.
