Expository dialogue techniques that don’t rely on characters randomly explaining things to each other that they should already know, but do rely on your characters being obnoxious gits, by Prokopetz:
3. Character A tells a complicated and implausible lie; character B points out the obvious holes in their story. 4. Character A can’t find their destination; character B provides rambling and discursive directions. 5. Character A has a straightforward question; character B requests a series of extremely pedantic clarifications.
