Speaker 1 "Blahblah" He rolled his eyes[2] "Blahdahbadeeblah"[1]
Is that broken up into paragraphs? Because if not, I would assume Speaker 1 is rolling his eyes in the middle of his speech.
Tact is just not saying true stuff. I'll pass.

I'm not following you -- is it broken up or not? Because if it's not, then why isn't the first speaker?

Sorry, yeah, got excited over the confirmation of my not crazy, which maybe expounded my crazy. Paragraph is NOT broken up.

However, in the middle of that, is it appropriate to have the second speaker give an unidentified reaction while the first speaker continues?
No.
There is a story about Hemingway. He was speaking to students who had been reading "A Clean Well-Lighted Place." There is a long run of alternating dialogue between the Old Waiter and the Young Waiter and it becomes very fuzzy as to who is speaking. Who is speaking is important to understanding the scene. A student asks Hemingway to clarify. Hemingway looks at the dialogue and days, "It's perfectly clear to me."

Yeah, for long-running scenes, it's nice to have a good memory of who's on first, but even in lit, a reminder every now and then during a lengthy conversation between two people is pleasant, if not somewhat necessary.
IOW, FU H.

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"
Out-smolder the Winchester brothers? Unpossible. I'm going to put John in there as well. Smokin'!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Actually? Both Johns have a pretty good smolder on. IJS. Adam's a cutiehead, but he still gotta work on the smolder.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I guess I'm going to have to be the first person to stand up for the angels. Castiel can smolder in my personal space any time he wants (and he can bring Balthazar and nine of his closest friends).
Heat, this show is not short of it.
