If she does not, you [[lead]] — new topic or a move — you do not panic-fill.

	The [[Newbie assignment]] still starts at talking. Silence is a later tool.		The [[Newbie assignment]] still starts at talking. Silence is a later tool, on top of a conversation that already works.

			== Failure mode ==
			A stare-down. That is [[tryhard]] with the volume off. Or pausing instead of having anything to say.
