Dialogue (8)

I think it could be either:

speaking

colloquy

'dialogue' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for colloquy that I've seen before include "mutual discourse" , "Formal conversation" , "Dialogue" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian and the King Feature Syndicate.
