THis is from a script, It indicates that the conversation in the dialogue that follows is already underway. Is there a technical term for that in scripts/screenplays?
XXXX, un hombre de unos 40 años, aspecto árabe, pelo corto y tatuajes en el torso; e XXXX, están sumergidos con el torso desnudo dentro de uno de los piletones del complejo. Se conocen hace poco tiempo pero una complicidad instantánea se ha instalado entre ellos. Conversación iniciada.
Thanks

(in) mid-conversation
I think this is the usual expression.
"BIZ: COLLEGE GIRLS CHATTER ... THEN IN BG
MISS FISH: (INTO PHONE, MID-CONVERSATION) Why, of course. You want Betty to come over and sit with Merwyn. I'll tell her right away.
[...]
SFX: FRONT DOOR OPENS ... SPIKE AND MISS KRAMER ENTER IN MID-CONVERSATION--
KRAMER: (DRUNKEN LAUGHTER) Oh, you are a darling, Spike!"

"STARTING A SCENE: (Much like Aaron Sorkin said) "Best to come in mid-conversation in a scene.""
