This moment starts with a loud bang! One followed by three similar to it, interrupting that of Tanner's children sermon. Shooting a agitated look over his shoulder, he swears under his breath at the scare it gave him. Surely enough, a fifth shot follows, the sound of a revolver firing off. I wonder who... It's only when two children in his class begin to cry that he decides to take action, first attempting to calm them down before a third begins to weep.

Enough, Tanner leaves the cabin just to find who he suspected all along not fifty paces away: Kanin Walker. Executioner, his reputation proceeded him long before he was ever officiated. "Brother Walker- Brother Walker!" He shouts over the field, jogging under the sound of more shots being fired. It's unclear what Kanin aims for at first, Tanner squinting at the sight until he can make out the assortment of trash the boy has collected to use as target practice.

He daren't lay his hands on another member of the Church, but in this moment a boiling anger begins to form in the pit of his stomach. "How is it always you causing a disturbance," he calls out, now a mere five paces behind the boy.

Tanner crosses his arms once the executioner finally turns to meet his gaze. "Surely, you must know a better place for your practice than right across from my youth sermon," he says, frustration and concern both evident in his voice. "You disrupted my entire teaching. What were you thinking, Kanin?"

The barrel lines up with the soda cans Kanin had set up alone an old wooden fence. Perfect line up. Rapid fire, he thought to himself. He didn't need to practice slow, or methodical, he had that under control. But quick aiming and performing under pressure, that's where he needed to work.

He pulled the trigger, but doesn't wait to see if the bullet finds its destination, instead he moved down the line in quick succession. Bam, Bam, Bam. Three cans fell, but the last one still stood. He'd just missed. "Damnit," He whispered under his breath. He would also do so well, but couldn't quite see it through.

The thought of his wife came to mind for some reason.

It's then that he was interrupted... Tanner. His eyes rolled as he turned around to face the NepoPriest. Kanin already knew what Tanner was upset about, but still listens as he gives a second sentence... and a third. Tanner really knew how to drive in a point.

"I was thinking that nothing could possibly scar kids as much as listening to you drain on for hours, Brother Garcia." Kanin chuckled as he leveled his gun back up at the can he'd missed before.

"Anyways," he was tilting his head, making sure his eye was looking straight down the sight on his revolver, "longest flat area the church has got, so buzz off." Bam! The final can took it's bullet. It's easy to miss when you have a face to visualize on the can.

There's always been a loud tension between the two boys - Tanner Garcia and Kanin Walker. It's slowly built over the years, like how the prairie grass grows. As a child it was up to his knees, but now he feels it in the heat of his neck, how frustrating it is to deal with the executioner. What's more, is that Kanin is one of his father's favorites, an entitled pureblood divine serving nothing other than his own interests.

He insults Tanner to his face, prodding at his youth sermons, getting a scowl out of the priest. It's a pettiness he tries to avoid being dragged into it, but it tempts him so. How childish Brother Walker is, he would fit right into Tanner's group of students, perhaps learn a thing or two while he's there. Doubt it, with that thick skull of his-

Just breathe, he reminds himself.

And then Kanin raises the gun again, telling Tanner off and pulling the trigger only seconds after. "That's enough, Walker," the preacher says, stomping his way between the gun and the target. As if a dare, try me, Tanner bites his tongue to his better judgement. Looking Kanin in the eyes, he would be shooting daggers if he could.

"Why don't you go get lost in that desert. Plenty of flat land out there, and you'd be doing everybody a whole lot of good while you're at it."

Escalation, and Kanin was admittedly, partly responsible. It was odd because if anything, Kanin was known for de-escalating... in a way. But now, Brother Garcia stood between the fence and his revolver. Kanin holstered, but he hesitated, just a bit too long. Tanner continued on his tirade, it felt like a lot of anger that had been boiling for longer than just the afternoon.

"Are you done, Brother Garcia?" He smiled, clearly patronizing Tanner. There was just... something about him that rubbed Kanin the wrong way, and surely it wasn't because of his father. Sure, the nepotism was ripe, but Kanin didn't consider himself so superficial as to have this large of a distaste for someone because of who their father was.

Tanner was just so... whiny. That's what it was. A boy who had everything, always bitching about something or the other. He wanted this, he wanted that, he needed you here, he needed you gone. He was so impleasable that Kanin must have stopped trying ages ago without realizing it.

"How would you feel if I went into your classroom and told you how to do your job? This is my calling, and I'll practice how and where I need to. If your calling involved protecting the church, perhaps you'd understand." He meant it. Tanner would one day be the father, and he didn't know the first thing about preserving the faith. One day, he'll lead this church into the ground. "Who knows, perhaps my practice is inspiring one of the youths to grow up and lead with excellence?"
