[The horse is munching through the treats when it finally realizes Cecelia had moved. Quickly it snaps his head to look at the woman, it's ears already pinned back as if to display hostility, but Eustace has a firm hand on its halter so it can't do more than that.]

Cool it, she just helped free you.

[There's a bit of a moment as the horse turns its head to see that the rope severed and its eyes roll between the two.]

If you had let her do this from the start you would have been back in your stall by now. Now apologize and thank her.

[The one sided conversation is probably weird to witness let alone seeing someone scold a horse like this. The horse's attitude as it seems to protest, bobbing and shaking its head as it paws the ground, only adds to it. In the end Eustace sighs and looks back at her.]

Forget it, he's too stubborn. But good work.
