Their randomly chosen addresses are within the same /16 subnetwork.
Therefore they can talk directly, without using a gateway.
Their corresponding Ethernet MAC addresses will be resolved by ARP.

For file sharing, either in Windows or using Samba on Linux, you could autodiscover the other computer and just use the name of the shared resource.
