All northern centaurs know that the best way to spend time together is in friendly wrestling or competition of any kind, inappropriately ending in wallowing in the grass.
However, Vail is not a northern centaur, and the state of his body does not allow him to perform any actions familiar to most.
As for Espen... Espen is tired of the farce and the eternal status of the number one winner, he prefers calm walks in the company of a dear friend and a new tender feeling, gently pulsing somewhere in his stomach. Who knows: if they take a walk like this a couple more times, and maybe Vail will still take him somewhere under a pine tree to Espen's joy.
