Loki is the typical bengal! Thor is not! I have a Loki in my house. And mine is 8 years old and always into something and moving around. I don't have another cat for him like you do. But, it's obvious your two kitties are completely different and have different energy levels (which is unusual if you have two bengals -- especially brothers).
Bengals do not need to be outdoor cats. If you want Loki to experience the outdoors, train him to walk on a harness and leash and take him for walks. My Raiden was a free-roaming cat for the first six years of his life and he had several bad cat fights that ended up in vet visits for the previous owner. When I took him, I decided he could not roam free, so we take two walks daily and he has a huge 12'x12'x8' high enclosure on our deck that he can access 24/7. This has helped tremendously, but he STILL gets bored. But, that's just the way he is. He'll start running around the house, jumping up on everything. That's just a bengal.
Allowing Loki outdoor access unsupervised is a personal preference. If you don't care whether he returns home and are willing to sacrifice the money you paid for him, that's fine. But, if you want to keep him safe from harm's way (other cats, dogs, traffic, people who steal purebred cats), then you'll simply find a way to deal with this. Not many bengals are like Thor! Most are like Loki.
