[Holy shit blast from the past]

[biladi]

...

Son.

[He removes the headscarf so that his features can be a little more recognizable.]

[areyou_mymummy]

[mouth falls open in a little gape]

...

...

[but it still doesn't quite click the right way]

You're my brother?

[biladi]

[That's what he considers the other Egypt to be, in his eyes, so...] Mhm.

[areyou_mymummy]

...!!

Mama didn't tell me I had a brother...

[biladi]

[He just gives a small smile and tries to pet his younger self on the head. Can he do that?] Good to see you.

[areyou_mymummy]

[patted]

What's your name?

[biladi]

You can call me Gupta. [Holds out his hand for a brofist high five handshake.]

[areyou_mymummy]

[uuuhhhh... takes your hand!]

That's a funny name.

[his own name's different, something in his mother's language--he won't be getting your name for another few hundred years]

[biladi]

[Gentle shake shake. Man, his hands used to be so small. He can't help but laugh a little at that.]

brb! ;n;

[areyou_mymummy]

[shakes right back]

[uaahh your hand is so big!]

How come I never saw any statues or paintings of you at home...

[it was always just him and Mama, yup]

okay! buhyoo so cute

[biladi]

[Ah... how should he dance around that.]

Some are of me. [He looked like you when he was a kid. Uh. Yep. Spitting image.] I just grew up.

aha <3

[areyou_mymummy]

[mouth now in an 'o' shape of realization]

So you were born way before me..

[it still doesn't quite make sense to him, but he'll go with it, after all, there's lots in the world he doesn't understand]

[biladi]

[In a way, that's true, so Egypt nods. But enough about him! Wasn't his younger self looking for someone important?]

Need help finding Rome?

[areyou_mymummy]

[ah--]

...

[nods!]

[biladi]

[He's not sure if he can help, but Egypt will try. Standing up with a small smile!]

Let's go.
