There's a place in the dark where the animals go

He teetered on his paws, his ears flicking as he heard the other wolf turned toward him, a sound that was normally light, seemed staggeringly obvious in this moment. He was sure he could hear every hair on the wolf's body move, each brushing against the next one, the sound of the brute's bones clicking as he whipped around, the sound of blood flow... or was that just his own heartbeat? He stared off for a moment, wondering absent-mindedly about what he was hearing, and he had to blink hard a few times to make himself focus on the words of the other. It was then confirmed, this was indeed his brother, and in some small way, he felt a wave of relief. Had he even been worried at all? Perhaps on some subconscious level he had known he was in a precarious situation, that was, if this wolf had been a stranger, yet he hadn't really been able to control his actions. But it was Vadim after all. What was he doing here?
"We're not dreaming, but... how did you get in here?" he asked in a dazed tone, his jaw slackening as he tilted his head at his brother, barely paying attention to the words Vadim had said. He wasn't sure what sort of answer he expected from the question he'd asked - if he'd been in his right mind, it would have been very obvious that Vadim had walked into the same entrance he had. But for some reason, it seemed a very confusing concept at the moment. Ramsay closed his eyes and inhaled, smiling to himself as the grassy, herb-like scent passed through his nostrils once more. He opened his eyes again, his pupils dilating, bringing what little light there was into his eyes so he could see Vadim's shape in the dark. He squinted, his brow furrowed again as he looked at the young man, watching Vadim's thick coat move in a most unnatural way. His tall ears heard his brother's suggestion to go outside, something to do with the cave. "Because.. the cave?" he asked, then nodded without anymore thought. As he continued to stare at his brother's gray-toned fur, it began to whirl gently until it looked like fire... like gray flames were swirling from Vadim's coat. "Vadim, I think you're on fire," he squinted further, touching the areas that looked like flames, but it didn't burn, "Does it hurt?" Okay, what was going on? "Outside... yes, let's go outside," he mumbled, glancing this way and that into the darkness. Which way?
He suddenly felt a nudge, and with a sudden out of character chuckle, Ramsay went toppling over as though his brother had shoved him with force. It wasn't the case, but he'd lost his balance quite easily, his long legs tangling up in his uncoordinated state and tripping him. He rolled over and got back to his paws again, shaking himself off, only to feel his brother's weight against his side. The brute huffed and groaned against the effort of keeping his balance and supporting his heftier brother, but he grinned when he heard the warped sound of Vadim chuckling alongside him. So, now he thought they were dreaming, too? Ramsay laughed. This was simply bizarre. What were they doing? "Well, guess we're stuck together til we get outta here," he said with a chuckle, bumping his scrawny hip against his plump brother's side, "Is this the way out?" He asked, but he just kept following his stumbling pawsteps, feeling the grass between his toes. As his eyes scanned their dark surroundings, it felt like there was a glow between he and his brother, like a lantern, and he could see the walls of the cave. They flowed, the rock itself moving, as though the walls were gently inhaling, and then exhaling. Ramsay blinked, shaking his head, but he could see it clearly. The rocky walls of the tunnel were breathing. "This is the weirdest cave..." he mumbled, wondering what Vadim thought of it.
