Things ended up working out for Lavali. Of course, Sandra is now unsupervised.

And that name discussion is now resolved.

Talking of which, we note that the new character also has a name in the tags, which Sandra seems to have learned by magic. "Aaina" appears to be an authentic Indian name; it's also been the title of a couple of Bollywood movies, though no character in either appears to have it as a name, so presumably it means something in an Indian language.

A quick search gives me the language as Urdu and the meaning as "mirror".

"You two should talk." =)) =)) =))

Might as well straight out have said: "Go forth and be merry, and you know what I mean by being merry!"

And I guess Sandra learned the name right from Aaina's soul.

So what will Sandra do once on her own ? And where is the guy theyy were with ?

Urdu is supposedly Pakistanese, or at least language of the Indian Muslims... Well, it's like Serbian or Croatian which are the same language but called different names for religious/political reasons. #-o

Sandra danced with Aaina previously: http://www.sandraontherocks.com/strips- ... g_yourself

So she has learned her name from then.

Does this mean that Lavali is older than Alex?

Lavali has always been the older sister. For one thing, she's already working and not in school while Alex is still studying.

You planned this all along, didn't you, Eisu?

I can just hear you whispering to yourself in the dark now: Someday, someday, I'm going to use Lavali's name to kick off a story.

That's JK Rowling-level twist right there.

Wish I could take the credit but I'm not the writer, Dave Lumsdon is.
