[Ellie takes the oats from Taako unbidden. He's got that crazy hat, after all, and horses get freaked out by the weirdest things. She learned plenty from Winston about how to approach a skittish animal - you walk towards it diagonally, with your head down, not making eye contact. As if you're just sort of meandering and not towards it specifically. It's obviously okay with Ivar so she keeps him between them, pauses every time its ears flick towards her and finally foists the oats off on him before she retreats.]

Guess we'll find out if it even eats oats.
