“Seda! So it’s you here! Glad I’ve brought more tarts and milk then.”

“Aww, you always think of everything, don’t you?”

“Someone has to, sweetie. That big loaf of a Raen would make everyone starve if we let him on the control.”

The Miqo’te girl laughed at the thought of Shintaro looking like a loaf of bread and then nodded agreeing with Laurana. Seda Zhwan was pretty short and petite for her age. A Keeper of the Moon lone soul. One more that Shintaro encountered on his wanderings through Eorzea. She won her life being too good with numbers. So much that she would trick dishonored merchants to take away their money and share with a small group of kids that considered her a “Bigger Sister”. Her boldness brought her trouble once and Shintaro fortunately helped her to get away from that.

As they entered the house, Seda shows all the papers she’s been gathering. “Quite the work”, Laurana noted.

“Yes! I’ve been collecting all the data I can from the members of the Forever Blue Initiative. Both the Incorporated and the Sailings.” Seda cheerfully talks about her tasks.

“Shintaro would be proud of you if he knew that.” Laurana smiled. “Now that he’s away, it’s the perfect time to organize this and put this initiative on the road.”

“I agree! He left sooooooo much work undone, I’m almost crying here... why is he always this lazy and air-headed?” The Miqo’te puts both her hands on her face and then messes her hair with a crazy-scientist look. “But I must go on! Or my name isn’t SEDA!”

“Calm down... let’s eat first, honey...” Laurana sets up the wooden table and rests trays with tarts, bread, milk and tea on it. They all seem delicious and fresh.

“Owwwn... alright...”

Half an hour passed and they are now resting after the breakfast. Laurana is sitting on the couch (although, occupying two seats instead of one) and Seda is rubbing her belly sitting on a comfortable armchair.

“Heeey... Laurieee...” A lazy Miqo’te tries too hard to speak.

“Hm?”

“Tell me a story...?”

“Sure, which one, kitty?”

“Why... the coat of arms of the Forever Blue is like this?” Seda points to the banner with Forever Blue Inc. coat of arms and moto.

Laurana set herself straight and rested her hand on her chin, thinking about it. “I know that Shintaro told me about it... let me remember...” After thinking for almost two minutes, Laurana got up of the couch, grinning from ear to ear and walks to the bookshelf. “Where...? Where...? Oh here! This one!” She picks a book written “Heralds and Coat of Arms: Symbols and Meanings”. Inside it, there are several paper written in doman and eorzean languages. “Why, Shintaro. WHY DO YOU HAVE TO WRITE IN THOSE WEIRD SYMBOLS?!” She skim the papers until finding a drawing of the coat of arms, a sketch that probably Shintaro did, with several drafts until the final choice. Behind, in Eorzean (luckily), there is an explanation, probably to the crafter, of the meanings and symbols.

“Alright! Found it!”

“What?”

“Shintaro showed me this once. He said that after pondering about everything, we should settle with this. I honestly didn’t care at first, because... you know... he is the ‘noble one’ here.” She sighed and then chuckled. “But here we go... let’s see what the hells this symbol means.”

“Coat of Arms.” Seda tries to fix Laurana.

“Whatever.” The Hyur shrugs smiling.

“So...?”

“Well, you see the blue color? It’s called Azure. It says here that means ‘for steadfastness, strength, truth & loyalty’. Uhh fancy!” She laughs and continues reading. “Gold, or Or, is for ‘understanding, respect, virtue and majestic.’ Interesting. Argentum is for ‘Cleanliness, wisdom, innocence, sincerity, peace and joy’.”

“Wow, this seems too fancy to my taste. Where did Shintaro learned about this stuff?”

“I know, right?! Wait, there’s more!”

“Oh, do tell me!”

“You see the ‘V’ part? It’s called Chevron Division and means Protection. The three fish, representing the three times Bravery. And a Lightning, meaning the swift response of our initiative. Damn you, Raen, this is wholesome!”

“I agree, it’s seems like we are part of something really important!” Seda nods happily to Laurana.

“I guess this represents all the memories and people he has, you know? You didn’t spend too much time with him yet, but... he remembers everything. He was always this person, that makes you feel wonderful, important, just to make sure that you are free from any restraints. Then he wanders again... because it’s his nature.”

“I see there’s... some words on the Coat of Arms too. ‘Honor and Liberty’.”

“It says here that this is the ‘moto’. Some sort of Oath that your order lives by.” Laurana answers looking at the book of Heraldry. “Well. I guess we all have something to look for, then. When he comes back from Othard, we should make sure that this initiative lives by its moto.”

Hanged on the wall, the coat of arms shine with the first sunbeam hitting it. Laurana and Seda look at the same time to it, and smile, proudly. Laurana hangs her hand on Seda’s shoulder, to which the Miqo’te answers by resting her hand on Laurana’s.
