I don't think it needs to be expanded. Your reaction was quite clear
as expressed. There's an expression - "don't over-egg the cake" -
that means that too much praise can ruin good intention. I think
Miguel will be sufficiently pleased with what you did say.

Unless your comments need translating into Spanish or Quechua, they
will be appreciated.
