-=== Miscellaneous conversational skills ===
+Social skills are trained during conversations, whether between idle dwarves, between [[thought|unhappy]] dwarves and your [[mayor]], when [[trading]] (including when screwing up and angering the [[Elf|Elves]]), or during [[diplomat|diplomatic]] negotiations.
-It is unknown what specific circumstances make one or another of these useful; most of them are trained by parties, conversation between two or more idle dwarves, and trading. The latter fact implies that they are useful in trading, perhaps to get a better deal. They are also listed as mayor skills.
