Well, after a couple of attempts I made a dialogue that I was satisfied with. It still feels a little too expository to suit me, but I think it's the best it's gonna get. This information must get out someway or another. So tomorrow I'm going to run through chapters three and four really quick to see if there's anything I want to tweak, and then I'll go on to new material.
It took me about three hours to come up with one that satisfied me. I started at about noon and I quit at four. I took a two hour walk after that (I just got back, in fact) to decompress. Man, trying to rework your old crap is hard. I pretty much scrapped it all and rewrote it all as if it were the first time. It fit the two characters that were talking better that way. I didn't get across everything I wanted to, but I got enough for the plot to advance. That will just have to do.
