Ky maintains that communication could be effective between the two of them, if Sol would just agree to participate in the conversation. It isn't as though Ky has a problem with the concept, after all, and just because Sol would nearly always rather grunt than talk doesn't mean that he should always get away with that. Sol's interpretation of Ky having his fingers in his ears is clearly false, given that Sol mostly seems to speak to antagonize Ky, as much as anything else. Certainly, he doesn't try to actually explain things.

"Yes, again. This appears to be what's happening this week." Ky swallows the rest of the explanation that he so badly wants to give, the detailed summary of who Ky was stuck to, the circumstances, and how long it took to become unstuck.

"It seems like it will wear off, sometime between two and six hours, from personal experience so far. It's activated by touching, any sort of contact, and the particular time that it wears off doesn't seem to be connected to anything. It's not like it's always midnight or something." Oh, wait, that's not a very good job of swallowing his explanation. Whoops.
