It bought them a moment of safety, but looked like the soldiers were already gearing up for round two. The agents were surrounded and even worse: subjected to the very annoying, tiresome speech of the enemy. Those Germans' heads were so far up their own asses it was a wonder they could still talk. ...but the fact was, the Allied stand users were in quite the predicament and no amount of internal insults would get them out of it. It was time for action. Unlike before in the forest, Taras' own stand would be much less helpful on the offensive front. It was small, weak, and vulnerable to attacks from other stands - which there were a [i]lot[/i] of. Even though they seemed simplistic and identical, any wound they could land on「Bad Case」itself would severely limit Taras himself. So, he didn't summon it. Instead, the Russian happily let Yonaka take on「The Reaper」, getting out of her way and diving behind another patron's table. While he moved, he drew his own gun from his coat - a proud pistol of Russian make. As soon as he switched the safety off Taras took aim at the pianist and fired. If the man was that gangly stand's user, then hopefully his focus would be split between Yonaka and himself, leaving either stand or user open for an attack.
