"Uncle Annie!" Kana cried as he struggled to drag a large chest across the ground and towards his currently preoccupied honorary uncle.

Ananias stopped what he was doing before letting out an exasperated sigh and muttering, "I keep telling you not to call me that, but whatever." He turned towards the now exhausted child and readily folded his arms before asking, "So, what's up?"

Kana took a moment to catch his breath before smiling up at him, patting the top of the chest he had been dragging along with him, letting out a carefree chuckle, and answering, "Oh, just business stuff."

Ananias raised an eyebrow in mild surprise. "'Business stuff'?"

Kana nodded. "Uh-huh." He indicated towards the chest he had been dragging along with him. "And have I got a deal for you!"

Ananias wearily sighed as he pinched the bridge of his nose. "We've been over this. I'm a messenger, not a merchant. Just because I'm related to merchants doesn't mean that I'm capable of being one."

Kana's face immediately fell upon being reminded of this very fact. "Aw! And I went through so much trouble bringing this chest full of goodies to you too!"

Ananias let out a slightly irritated grumble before folding his arms again and saying, "... Fine. Show me what you've got."

Kana let out a surprised gasp. "R-Really?"

Ananias nodded. "Yeah."

Kana gave him a concerned frown. "But - "

Ananias raised his hand in order to silence him. "Just... just show me what you've got for now and I'll figure out what to do with it later, alright?"

"Oh, okay!" Kana cried, before opening the chest up and proudly presenting Ananias with its contents. "Ta-da!"

Ananias took a look at what Kana had so painstakingly dragged along with him and let out a small and surprised gasp at what he saw. "Um, no offense, but...," he shuffled through the chest in order to make sure that he was indeed not being mistaken at what he was about to say next, "aren't all of these your old toys?"

Kana nodded. "Uh-huh," he quietly answered.

Ananias gently placed some of the toys that he had picked up back into the chest and gave Kana a concerned frown. "... Kana, what's going on? I thought some of these were your favorites."

Kana nodded as he stubbornly pursed his lips. "They are," he admitted, the sadness evident in his voice despite his best attempt at hiding it.

After waiting a while for Kana himself to elaborate further on why he was attempting to give away all of his favorite toys, Ananias himself gently asked, "So why are you giving them all away?"

Kana looked down as if he had been shamefully caught stealing cookies from a cookie jar and explained, "Because I really want to help mama and papa, but... they said that they had grown up problems, and that I should just focus on being a little kid for now."

Ananias let out a weary sigh as he realized just what Kana was trying to accomplish. "And you wanted to help them out so much that you decided to try and grow up faster. And the very first thing you thought of doing was giving away and getting rid of all of your favorite toys."

Kana nodded. "Was that bad?" he shamefacedly asked.

Ananias considered his answer carefully before saying, "No... there's nothing wrong with growing up. After all, it's only natural, right? And wanting to help your parents out is great and all, but...," he placed a hand onto kana's shoulder, "maybe you should think more about what your parents said before doing anything reckless like this, okay? Trust me, they knew what they were talking about when they told you that."

Kana frowned and bowed his head before looking sheepishly back up at Ananias. "Really?"

Ananias nodded. "Really really." He then stood himself back up and picked up Kana's chest for him. "Now come on. Let's take this chest back to your place, huh? We'll keep what happened today our little secret."

Kana nodded sadly. "Okay."


Author's Note #1: The next supports after Kana will be Selena, followed by Beruka, Xander, Azura, Flora, Odin, Laslow, Rinkah, Arthur, Silas, Leo, Keaton, and Subaki. Kanna's supports will be like Ophelia's and Soleil's, with Kanna being Odin, Laslow, or Selena's kid and Ananias being an honorary uncle to them. The supports will also be written as if Kanna is a boy, but will be generic enough to fit both genders. Got someone else you want to support with Ananias that isn't on this list yet? Request it. Remember, all Nohr first generation characters, Soliel, Ophelia, Anna, Kanna, Rinkah, Subaki, and Setsuna are allowed to support with him as well and it is a first come, first serve system.
