Anne attempts to possess the Missionary she followed, the man called Vasili by ”Letting it Out” (partial success with an 8). She takes definite hold of something vulnerable or exposed (in this case Vasili) and marks corruption. She intends to leave the tunnel and reunite with Andre.
Farhad watched as the Morgue walked away, not letting his gaze fall from the wrestler until he was some distance away.
Farhad placed a reassuring hand on Andre’s back, in part as a sign of support, but also to remind him that there were other forces at play and that they had come here for a purpose other than wrestling.
I think we’ve been successful here tonight, let us not push our luck.
Farhad waited for Andre to finish enjoying his moment in the limelight and as they exited the Coliseum Farhad whispered, this, Underground, shouldn’t find this place very safe anymore, but it seems this insidious little group you’ve gotten yourself mixed up with is very… interested in you. Not to worry, I know a few things about avoiding the shadowy tendrils of covert bureaucratic automatons.
Farhad took a step ahead, his cane delicately tapping the worn concrete.
You got moxie kid, I like that. It’s been a long while since I’ve spent a night out on the town, even if you did flip your wig, there for a moment. But I think it’s time to retire, perhaps a night cap of sour cherry tea and a nice Koloocheh Fooman before bed.
Farhad yawned, sounding uncharacteristically ancient, for a moment, Yes, I think that would do nicely.
I don’t think Farhad has any moves to make, just wrapping things up.

All Andre has to do is beat one of the best wrestlers the city has seen in 25 years.
The realisation leaves Andre shocked. He follows steps from the building. Words with many syllables bounce off his furry ears. Tendrils. Bureaucratic. Automatons. Words that Andre kind of understands, but not quite.
The tap of Farhad's cane pulls Andre from his excited stupor.
Is that a compliment he just received? Moxie. It was either that or the Dragon was accusing him of possessing drugs. But the immaculately dressed antique dealer seemed... to be enjoying himself.
Andre smiles, baring wicked teeth. "I have to talk to my guy about the costume! I can't believe this is happening!" He's forgotten about the Missionaries and the mission he sent Anne on already, despite Farhad's warning.
Farhad's yawn provokes his own yawn.
"Dammit... I left my clothes back in the dumpster. My good clothes. I have to go back to the underbridge."
It's the last thing Andre feels like doing but he can't afford to lose a set of clothes every time he transforms. The Wolf, however, is pleased. The Wolf wants to run and stretch his legs till the point of exhaustion, perhaps find a nice high perch where he could howl at the moon. He wants to prowl his territory and ensure it remains secure. The night is life and Andre's clay will and human frailties are pathetic irrelevancies.
"You were brilliant, by the way. Like ... perfect manager moves. I doubt you are interested, but ..." The rest of the words don't make it out of Andre's mouth. He owes the antique merchant too much already. Instead, he thanks Farhad again. "If you don't mind, I'll come to the store to grab my bag tomorrow."
The Wolf grows impatient with Andre's awkwardness. "When you want your debt repaid, we will be ready," he snarls.
The Wolf cloaks himself in shadow, dumpster bound.
