In all the depictions of a veqlargh, I don’t remember anyone chatting with one,
He's chatty in the first depiction.
He's also chatty in the paq'batlh. Pages 106-107, lines 4-12:

*Kahless and his kin Were almost at the gates, When Fek'lhr came in.He screamed: "Where is the p'takh Who dares to enter Gre'thor Within a body?!"I will hunt you down Like a targ and slay you, Then eat both your hearts!"*
As for plurals, there's this aphorism from TKW (page 197) You pay attention to your Fek'lhr and I will pay attention to mine.
*veqlarghlI' yIbuS 'ej veqlarghwI' vIbuS.*
Suggesting that, at least in a metaphorical sense, it's possible to conceive of more than one Fek'lhr. (Note, too, that *veqlargh* takes the "language user" possessive suffixes.)
