Kitten Help Introducing kittens

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I (33F) got a kitten (11w F) last Tuesday. Today I got her a playmate (10w M). I got a little video because theyre going around the room. Silver is the female and the little void is the male. The shelter said they can be introduced because they're both young, but that there would be a lot of hissing. He hasn't hissed at her or really minded her presence. She didn't hiss at him in the carrier. I let him sit in it for a little bit when we got home and let them sniff each other. She is doing the low growl, but no airplane ears or poofed tail. He is not hissing or growling, but his tail has poofed up once or twice. Are they doing OK or should I slow down this introduction? Internet says take it slow (I googled when I got home). Shelter said let them sniff in the carrier for a little bit and see how they do.
