Conversations with Characters

I have a scene in the current Acalia book and my characters keep creating obstacles, never quite reaching the scene planned. I don't know if I'm forcing it or if the book is necessary to move things forward.

Adam: It'll happen if it needs to happen.

That's not really helpful.

Adam Continued: (Shrugs) Was aiming more for honest.

Ethan: I say do it. (Pause) Wait, am I in it?

That's not the point.

Ethan Continued: If the scene involves me or Penny, then I say keep it.

Adam clears his throat pointedly. At Ethan's blank look, he lifts an eyebrow. Ethan rolls his eyes.

Ethan Continued: Fine. Me, Penny or Adam then keep it.

Obviously one of you is in it. It's your bloody book.

Ethan Continued: Then keep it. You know what I say about a book about us. The longer the better.
