My characters don't talk TO me, but if my brain is humming along well, I'll "hear" them. And lines of narration will drop into my head out of the blue. And I do have a reprehensible tendency to amuse myself by imagining what Felix would say in response to things. (Mostly, I don't have to imagine what Mildmay would say, because it's what I'm already saying. Yes, I am frequently that foul-mouthed.)
Creativity is weird, and I think most of it is about the negotiation between consciousness (the part of our self that identifies itself as "I" and then trips over whether it should be talking in the first person or the third) and the rest of the brain.
