Conversations with your characters

Sometimes I like to figure out how things happened in my stories by talking to my characters. I'm just wondering what kind of conversations other people have with theirs.
With my favorite character, Rathalas, they usually end up something like this ...when he feels like being helpful anyway:

Me: Rathalas, how many merchants were at the meeting that assigned you the Reaper? Was it five or one?
Rathalas: Five or one? That's not a big difference at all. And aren't you the author? Figure it out.
Me: Aren't you the one who always complains when I get things wrong?
Rathalas: What? You expect me to let you write something wrong and not tell you about it?
Me: You could just tell me what it is in the first place and then we wouldn't have to go through this mess.
Rathalas: Or you could just be smarter about it.
Me: Thanks a lot. Now was it five or one?
Rathalas: Did you already write both scenes?
Me: Yes. I already wrote both storming scenes. Do you mind?
Rathalas: It was one. Captain Telchar of the Destiny. He practically begged Demoux on his hands and knees to escort him through the Strait.
Me: See, that wasn't so hard now, was it?
Rathalas: Don't get used to it.
Me: Fine, do you mind telling me what happened the rest of the way? I mean, you've already started.
Rathalas: ...
Me: Come on!
Rathalas: ...
Me: ...please?
Rathalas: Telchar came to the Immortal and asked there. I don't know the details of how the meeting ended because I left halfway through because Demoux got mad at me for pacing. But we ended up escorting the Destiny to the Dead Man's Strait and you know what happens from there.
Me: Vaguely. Wait, where are you going?!
Rathalas: Away. I've used up three weeks' worth of niceness telling you all that.
Me: Didn't even give me any storming details.
