"Oh, it can be!" I assure him, beaming as we pull away, his smile just as wide as mine. "In fact, in hockey, a huge group hug is an essential part of a celly so, in that case, it's as bro as you can get. But even so there are some guys who would never dream of hugging another guy off the ice. It's honestly really silly and all part of protecting masculinity and... and stuff like that. I wish my friend Shitty was here, he could explain it all so much better than I can, but take it from me, a fist bump is almost always preferable to hugs back where I'm from. Between guys, at least. Unless within a sports-related moment of celebration."

I finally pause for a breath then, but I still haven't stopped smiling and I let out a laugh a second later, shaking my head. "I can't believe I just got to teach someone from another dimension about fist bumps! Never in all my life could I have predicted this!"
