** Although he was talking to her, not narrating.

** And on the other hand she is a powerful telepath who is also trying to reach Warren at the same time with her own skills.

* ''[[Star Wars]]'': The comic-book adaptation of the ''Thrawn Trilogy'' features Lando Calrissian telling Chewbacca about the adventures they just had off-screen (on-screen in the novels). For all we know, Chewbacca is reprimanding him for being Mr. Exposition; [[The Unintelligible|we'll never know.]]

* Done endlessly in [[Silver Age]] comic books, particularly those involving Superman, where the villains would explain their plan to each other after they had carried it out. As often as not, Superman would overhear this conversation and swoop down to capture them, having had no clue prior to this what had been going on.

* Justified in the ''[[Lord Darcy]]'' books, where Master Sean natters on about the underlying principles of whatever spell he uses to examine crime scenes and clues, even though Darcy's surely heard all this before. Darcy actually ''insists'' that Sean do this, as it helps him overcome his own innate [[Muggle]] mental blocks about how magic operates; plus, as Master Sean is also a professor, he performs best while in classroom-lecture mode.

* Subverted in the ''[[Dresden Files]]'' books. Harry has a spirit advisor who informs him of details of magic relating to the particular case he is working on. Usually, Harry either doesn't know about the juicy tidbits, or needs a little help remembering them. The origin of this character is from the author's writing class, where he was told not to make the research assistant he was thinking of a "talking head". His solution? A Talking Skull named Bob. The teachers response? "You think you're funny, don't you?"

* ''[[Codex Alera]]''.
