"Oh, hello there, Ananias," Mozu greeted. "What brings you here this time?"

"Nothing much," Ananias answered. "I just wanted to check up on you. See if you needed any help with the fields and whatnot."

"Aw, that's sweet. Thanks, but everything is moving along just fine."

"Really?"

Mozu nodded proudly. "Yep. I've got everything covered. In fact, I was just about to start tilling the fields for the day."

"Really? And how long does that usually take?"

"Oh, it's a lot of work, that's for sure, but don't you worry! It's nothing this ole girl can't handle."

Ananias frowned. "Still, you shouldn't have to devote your entire day to it. Here, how about I till the fields for you? At least, just for today."

"O-oh, well, I don't know..."

"Just consider it my way of showing my appreciation for helping me out with those kids from before. Seriously, I don't know what would've happened if you hadn't showed up and taken charge the way you did."

"Oh, that was nothing, really! You don't have to do all this work just to do that!"

"I insist," Ananias said, reaching for the tool that Mozu was currently holding in her hands.

Mozu, in turn, moved said tool away. "No, I insist."

Ananias let out a frustrated grunt and moved towards it. "Well, I insist more."

Mozu scowled at him and continued moving it away from his advances. "Well, I insist more than that."

Ananias ran for it. "I insist infinitely more than that!"

Mozu began spinning around and moving her arms around wildly in order to keep said tool away from said reach. "And I insist infinitely more than that plus one!"

"That's not mathematically possible!"

"Well, insisting 'infinitely' isn't physically possible, so I guess you're just going to have to deal with it!"

"Not if I get that tool out of your hands!"

Mozu than began running away, protectively hugging the tool in her arms. "Over my dead, village girl body!"

Ananias ran after her. "Come on, Mozu! Just give me the stupid tool!"

"No! It's my stupid tool!"

"What's wrong with you? I'm offering to give you a break! Why won't you just take it?"

"Because farming is one of the few things that I'm actually good at around here!" Mozu argued. "So it should be my responsibility to do it!"

"And we appreciate it! So just take my token of appreciation and give me the dang tool already!"

"No! Why don't you just take the hint and just let me till the fields myself?! Gods know you do enough around here already!"

"Not anything worthwhile! I've got to make up for the fact that I'm basically a glorified grunt around here, which is why I'm offering to give you a break from tilling the fields in the first place!"

"I thought you were offering to do it to thank me for before!"

"That too!" Ananias leapt after her. "Rah!"

"Kyaa!" Mozu screeched, as Ananias tackled her to the ground.

"Give me the tool!"

"No!"

"Give me the tool, Mozu!"

"Never!"

"Just let me give you a break!"

"Just let ME give you a break!"

"Well, let me give you a break first!"

"No, YOU let ME give you a break first!"

After several moments of failing to pry the tool out of her hands, Ananias let out an exasperated sigh and asked, "Why are you being like this? This is so unlike you!"

"I could say the same thing about you!" Mozu cried, glaring at him. "Since when did you become so pushy?"

"I'm just trying to be more like you!"

Mozu's jaw dropped as she blinked in confusion. "What?! I'm not pushy!"

"W-well, maybe not, but you're definitely assertive! Which is what I'm actually trying to be right now! And I would've done it too, if you weren't being so selfish and prideful right now!"

"Selfish and prideful?! Well, that's a laugh, considering the fact that I'm trying to be more like you!"

Ananias' eyes widened in surprise. "Since when have I ever been this selfish and prideful?!"

"I... well, I'm not saying that you are! I'm just saying that I'm trying to be more selfless and helpful, that's all!"

"How is insisting on doing all of the tilling yourself selfless and helpful?"

"Well, how is fighting me over it being assertive?"

"..."

"..."

"Pfft..."

"Tee hee hee..."

"Ha ha ha ha ha!"

"Ha ha ha ha ha!"

The two of them fell down to the ground and finally began to relax. "Man, aren't we dumb?"

Mozu nodded. "The absolute dumbest! In fact, I haven't felt this silly in a really long time!"

Ananias sighed. "Man, how did we even get here?"

"It's simple, really. Other than being really dumb and really silly, we both can be pretty hard on ourselves."

"Humph. Yeah. I didn't realize you felt that way about yourself."

"Me neither." Mozu smiled. "If my mother saw us now, she'd probably say that we were two peas in a pod."

"Yeah, two dumb peas in a pod."

"Yeah, two really dumb peas in a pod."

Ananias got up and helped Mozu up immediately after. "So, um, you wanna, I don't know... till the fields together then? You know, compromise and whatnot?"

Mozu giggled. "Sure. Why not? After all, two peas are better than one!"

Ananias groaned. "Okay, I get it. Just... stop it with the pea metaphor, alright?"


Author's Note #1: After Mozu's supports, I'll finally be able to get to the Warriors supports. The results will be revealed and locked in then.

Author's Note #2: The Fire Emblem Warriors poll is up on my profile. Vote for which five characters you want for Ananias to support with from that game the most and, in the end, ten characters will be selected for Ananias to support with, so make your voices heard. Happy voting!

Author's Note #3: I've been asked about Three Houses supports a lot, and recently I was asked about potential Heroes supports, so I might as well address future plans for the story after I've completed the Warriors supports. Basically, I plan to do ten short stories/chapters with Ananias as the focus after the Warriors supports as a way to send off the character and this particular story, since this story has been around for quite a while now. These short stories can range from actual backstory stuff to just plain fun, but I will definitely only limit myself to ten, regardless of what types of stories they end up being. As many have asked for Three Houses and Heroes, I will definitely devote one chapter/story to each, but obviously they won't be full on supports with specific characters like the rest of this story has been. That means that'll leave eight stories left for me to do with this character besides those two, which will then officially close the book on his (and this) story. I hope that that works for all of you.

Author's Note #4: I do plan on making "The Lost Children" stories/supports with Lumaria, Tan'bay, Zephyra, Tenk, and Lana (as Lana is the only child character of the OC characters). While getting through all of one character's supports took a lot of time, the saving grace would be that the other characters wouldn't have as much justification to cross over into other games (the only reason why I did it with Ananias was that he was part of the Anna family and that Inigo, Severa, and Owain crossed over and became retainers to the Nohrian royals, with Elise being the odd one out), so they would just support with characters from their game and then it'll just end there. Tan'bay, Tenk, Zephyra, and Lumaria would support with the Awakening kids, their parents, and the avatar, while Lana would support with the Nohrian kids, her parents, the avatar, and a few exceptions from Hoshido (as per how the games did it). I don't plan on making new supports for the characters and Ananias. I'll just re-edit the supports Ananias already had with them and use those.
