Follow the reply
Choose the part of the response that interests you and follow it. You can disagree, change the subject or add a detail. There is no required conversation style and no need to make the first message impressive.
For an ongoing topic, a concrete update is useful: “I tried the other recipe” is clearer than asking whether the character remembers everything about last week. Share only details you are comfortable putting into an online service.
