You can also argue, disagree politely, rudely, friendly-rudely. You can misunderstand. You can interrupt. You can complain and ask them to get to the point. You can have the speaker fail to remember something, say something false and then correct themselves, forget the point of what they were saying and fail to answer a question, or decide they don't want to tell the listener something after all. The listener, instead of being restricted to questions, can do what real people do What they heard reminds them of something else, and they talk about that. "I saw that almost that same thing in Chicago, it was funny as hell. These two guys ..." And off into a story. This approach is suitable for people traveling, with nothing to do but talk. In other words, make it longer. I think the mistake you are making is that you are trying to turn an information dump into a conversation instead, but it is just a soliloquy information dump or history dump from ONE character, with a prop character that is only there to prompt the next long chunk of soliloquy. The solution is to ditch the soliloquy altogether, or if it is necessary, make it longer so the conversation develops both characters. Remember, the reason we avoid information dumps in exposition or dialog is they are taxing on the reader's memory. They ask the reader to memorize a lot of stuff, and that takes them out of the story and into doing their homework. It is seldom important for the reader to understand all at once why your character is the way they are. You need to try and engineer your story and conversation so this kind of "backstory" is not told in a big block, but in a paragraph, and preferably as an explanation for some action or decision being taken right now. If the back story never influences any action or decision, then it probably isn't important. If it does, the time to reveal it depends on how unusual it is; the less unusual, the closer the reveal can be to the decision, and vice versa. For example, if you are turning down the shrimp because shrimp gave you food poisoning as a kid, you can do that at the point of the decision. A real conversation is not an interrogation as you know. Bob says something. That makes Charlie think of something to talk about. That makes Bob think of something to talk about, and the conversation meanders around. The replies are often questions IRL, but these are usually backward looking, to clarify something said, or get more information on something mentioned or claimed, they are usually NOT forward looking to lead the speaker into something entirely new. You can make a back-and-forth conversation without any questions, and that is one way to avoid the interrogation flavor. Stichomythia is the technical term for an extended dramatic passage in which two characters speak alternating lines of verse. There's also hemistichomythia, in which the characters alternate half-lines and distichomythia, in which they alternate couplets. The device was fairly common in classical Greek tragedy, and Renaissance playwrights often adopted it. The term is often extended to rapid-fire alternation in prose, such as Abbot & Costello's famous Who's on first routine Abbott Strange as it may seem, they give ball players nowadays very peculiar names. Costello Funny names? Abbott Nicknames, nicknames. Now, on the St. Louis team we have Who's on first, What's on second, I Don't Know is on third— Costello That's what I want to find out. I want you to tell me the names of the fellows on the St. Louis team. Abbott I'm telling you. Who's on first, What's on second, I Don't Know is on third- Costello You know the fellows' names? Abbott Yes. Costello Well, then who's playing first? Abbott Yes. Costello I mean the fellow's name on first base. Abbott Who. Costello The fellow playin' first base. Abbott Who. Costello The guy on first base. Abbott Who is on first. Costello Well, what are you askin' me for? Abbott I'm not asking you—I'm telling you. Who is on first. Costello I'm asking you—who's on first? Abbott That's the man's name. Costello That's who's name? Abbott Yes. The device is not restricted to Q&A situations, but of course it's admirably suited to them.
