Talks – and how! – just for show? (5)
I believe the answer is:
chats
'talks' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for chats that I've seen before include "Talks - birds" , "Wrens" , "Engages in casual conversation" .)
