Rameses doesn't understand a word of Moses' babbling, but he responds anyway, pretending he understands everything. Sometimes, Moses almost says Rameses' full name, but it tangles in his mouth, letters muddled on his lips. For now, he settles with "Ra!" his approximation of his brother's name. Rameses encourages, knowing Moses must get it right someday. He will get it right, but Moses must first learn to untangle the Egyptian language, before he can truly say the name of Egypt's heir to the throne.
Then one day, he does say his name—in full.
"Rameses!" Moses cries, grinning up at him.
