I think it's a stretch to say they were having a conversation at the point to begin with. D asked a question, but João would have ignored it because he's on the phone with emergency services and has more important things to do than chitchat with kids. :D

I'm also waiting for [@Mokley] to post before I do anything. Need to know if he found anything suspicious in the diner or if the runaway girl does anything noteworthy before I know what to do next.
