Oh did Akiiki enjoy the attention. He cooed for squeals and kisses from fillies. He flexed a little zebra muscle for hoofbumps and pats from colts. A merry time for the foal when Serilus showed up with the ice cream.
And the little pony knew just what to do with the frozen goodness. He dunked his head in it, emerging with it painted with ice cream. A happy giggle pulled the crowd into a roar of "D'aaww".
Serilus also bots some attention. He was being commended for his foalsitting skills by a nice group of ponies. Akiiki pointed them to his way after all.
