This is old, I know, but I just thought of something…

Maybe include a bit more expressive action during the dialogue scenes. Like, maybe have them move forwards a bit when trying to listen to something important or gossipy, or walk sideways, then turn back around in the span of a few frames to express shifting around in discomfort. Books break up dialogue with discriptive phrases when needed—sometimes via an interesting synonym of "said", sometimes through a simple action secntence. Maybe you could do the same to make things a bit more engaging.

(The dialogue itself, though, is top-notch.)
