talk's
The chat possesses
Talk's is the contraction of "talk is" or the possessive form of talk.
As a contraction: Talk's cheap—meaning words without action have little value.
As a possessive, it marks something belonging to a talk or instance of talking: The talk's main point was climate policy.
Both uses are informal.
