Zee didn't like it, but she was pretty sure this was the best she was going to get. She heaved a sigh and explained, "You were kinda close when you linked the names, but I was telling you the truth when I said Zee is my first name. It's just short for Zeela, like you guessed."
She was rambling a little, putting the grand reveal off until she had to. Unlike her sisters, who had only told people they'd trusted, Zeela was telling the secret first and hoping the trust came later.
"Sholeh is the sister on the records," she explained, nervously playing with the hem of her shirt. Zhahar is our older sister. She's like me; going to school here without anyone realizing it officially." She should probably stop dragging this out. "I guess you'll probably want to meet Sholeh first?"
And then Hercules got to watch the delightful transformation as one sister faded and the other came into view.
"Hi, Mr. Hansen," Sholeh said, tucking her hair behind her ear. "Umm, I hope you'll keep our secret?"
