Yeah but that's what your character would DO (and you'd try and sell a knick-knack that is relevant to their situation so you'd still be putting the conversation forward), as opposed to someone going in and trying to make the convo all about them.
If you're not there at the planning stages, you're a prop. Help them and they'll help you.
