(the  ST and any player I'm working a subplot with is the exception of course)  I find great fun in discovering things about other characters via conversation.  It provides for great unscripted character development and also, not knowing how someone else will react is interesting.I hope this helps to further the understanding of differing playing styles.</blockquote>
