[_Westworld’s_](http://time.com/4560657/westworld-adversary-episode/) Dolores (Evan Rachel Wood) and William (Jimmi Simpson) may be going through some [tough times](http://time.com/4552275/westworld-secrets-contrapasso-episode-5/) on the HBO series about the futuristic theme park, but over in reality, it would seem the actors had a grand old time offscreen.

Turns out, they’re actual friends in real life, so [Wood](http://time.com/4410002/evan-rachel-wood-into-the-forest/) took to Twitter on Monday to share the latest on-location video of the pair’s antics. It shows them taking in a waterfall to the blissed out tune of Enya’s “Only Time.” And because there’s a path for everyone, and Wood’s path leads her right back to taking selfies with her co-star — the great guy who even robs politely in the story — there’s more.

Be soothed by the nature video here and note that they’ve coordinated their hipster accessories.

> [](https://twitter.com/evanrachelwood/status/795718582097379328)

This is not the first time they’ve shared pop culture videos on social media. They also expertly created a video that was faithful to the awkward timing of Paul Rudd and Jason Segel in _I Love You Man_, that other movie that wrestles with major ethical dilemmas about man-made fake people.

> [](https://twitter.com/jimmisimpson/status/792532010203910145)


And here they are celebrating life itself with a tribute to _Kindergarten Cop_.

And last but not least, here they are recreating another magic moment between Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant.

> [](https://twitter.com/evanrachelwood/status/792579816033816576)

Both of them are getting so loose in these videos that it’s almost enough to kill the tension in Dr. Ford’s chambers.

The series has apparently mapped out a long future for the show, so it’s a good thing they’re vibing on what has to be a one intense set. This has been Dolores and William, best buds forever, video edition.
