Kalimac has just left Hobbiton.

Eowyn did have anything to say and just walks off. I found that humorous. <P>Well, you're right, Tar-Palantir, but it's one of those awkward situations, like asking someone how his wife is doing and being told that she died of cancer six months ago. There's nothing tactful you could possibly say. ("So, does this mean you're dating again?")<P>It doesn't seem to me that Aragorn flirts with or considers Eowyn in the movie; he's comradely with her, but no more so than with Gimli or Legolas, and he gets rather short when the conversation starts touching on his personal life. He's not being rude, but I didn't really see any signs of consideration or encouragement there, more like "Uh-oh...how do I let her down gently..." which is fairly close to the book.
