Fang: Whatcha doing, Olive?
Olive: Studying.

Olive: Mom uses her mouth, so I want to try too.
Fang: Okay, I'll keep the sun off ya.

As you can imagine, Fang was very 'popular as a child. His… unique parentage made him a pariah around the crystal empire. The adults had warily accepted a few changelings into their home but Fang was a bit more than they could accept without some complaint. His father being Spike helped but his appearance made them nervous. Said nervousness fed their foals feelings toward Fang.
Fang is a happy child but is often made fun of by others. He's learned to drown them out, choosing to focus almost exclusively on Olive most of the time, as such he misses whenever anyone is talking to him. Olive doesn't like other ponies very much and refuses to talk to other ponies for the same reason.
The two ponies beside them are supposed to be the twin sons of Starlight Glimmer and Sunburst but I'll change their manes later.
