Jealousy's a bad invention

Lavender and pansies surrounded them in this little valley they were descending in, and the sky mimicked the colors found in the field as the setting sun painted similar hues across the sky. The two were heading straight for the beginning of an astonishing crevice that centered the marble wash, the slopes getting steeper and the grass getting thinner.
Vadim's thick, chubby puppy limbs kept up with his brother's energy to the best of their capabilities but he was undoubtedly a sloth at heart. Every now and then, he'd start to fall behind as his ribs heaved with every breath of his pant, but his curious mind kept him from giving up and usually sent him bounding forward in an effort to keep up. Everything around him was new and interesting, and being out of sight from the watchful eyes of the rest of Ivalice thrilled his wild little heart like no other. Of course, he had no real drive to ever be completely alone- the possibility of misadventures simply excited him.
The illuminating glow that the setting sun would cast on the walls of the crevice they were heading into was unlike anything Vadim had ever even been able to fathom. He leaned torward his brother a bit, possibly bumping shoulders with him, as his large (for a puppy) skull craned upward to take in such a magnificent sight. Part of him wondered what sort of mystical monsters were responsible for such magical auras, a small spark of fear starting in the back of his mind- perhaps, maybe, they shouldn't be out here without the protection of an adult.
The enthused voice of his brother extinguished that little feeling of vulnerability, however, and an excited grin spread across the child's paler features. "Ready!" He exclaimed, making sure that Ramsay knew that he was right behind him. "This will be our secret," he confirmed, agreeing with his brother that no one else would know. They were two lost boys, Ramsay at the lead of them like some sort of Peter Pan. Vadim's eyes couldn't pull away from the beautiful twists of gold in the walls around them, gleaming rays of light in his sights with every different way that they moved. There was no way this could have been a bad idea, just no way!
