The end result is thermal equilibrium.
Explanation:
When two objects are touching for a specific period of time heat [thermal energy] always moves from a warmer substance to a cooler substance.
In your case we have two objects of unknown temperature. The temperature between those objects is transferred/ conducted.
The warmer body loses heat and the colder body gains heat.
Thermal energy that is transferred is called sensible heat transfer
After hours of heat conduction between two objects of unknown temperature thermal equilibrium is achieved.
