He even cracks a joke! But when speaking with or about Arwen he seems too poetic and shakespearian for his own good. The only time Aragorn really 'lets his hair down' while speaking is when he and the Hobbits come across the stone trolls. Aragorn to Éomer) but in intimate relationships, love or friendship, I think it gives a misguided atmosphere. In many situations it is correct, and only shows that the speaker has either great respect for the person to whom he is speaking or wishes to bring out a special aspect of themselves (Cf. A partial culprit to this rigidness is, IMO, the kind of language Tolkien makes his characters use. The Arwen/Aragorn thing would appear to be something set up by Elrond, and that they only 'mingle' because it would look suitable. Aragorn + Arwen) and are not much elaborated. And I think I might know why: Tolkien's 'love stories' and friendships are displayed quite rigidly (Cf. IMHO it is very difficult to make out the degree of relationship between, well, any characters in the LotR. 'Me go and see Elves and all! Hooray!' he shouted, and then burst into tears. 'Me, sir!' cried Sam, springing up like a dog invited for a walk. Something to shut your mouth, and punish you properly for listening. I have thought of something better than that.

See? If you don't, if you even breathe a word of what you've heard here, then I hope Gandalf will turn you into a spotted toad and fill the garden full of grass-snakes.' But' - and here he looked hard at Sam - 'if you really care about me, you will keep that dead secret. He had suddenly realized that flying from the Shire would mean more painful partings than merely saying farewell to the familiar comforts of Bag End. 'It can't be helped, Sam,' said Frodo sadly. I tried not to, sir, but it burst out of me: I was so upset.' And that's why I choked: which you heard seemingly. 'Take you to see Elves, eh?' he said, eyeing Sam closely, but with a smile flickering on his face. 'Come inside!' he shouted, and putting out both his arms he lifted the astonished Sam, shears, grass-clippings and all, right through the window and stood him on the floor. Couldn't you take me to see Elves, sir, when you go?' Elves, sir! I would dearly love to see them. And I believe them too, whatever Ted may say. Lor bless me, sir, but I do love tales of that sort.
I listened because I couldn't help myself, if you know what I mean. Bilbo, sir, and dragons, and a fiery mountain, and - and Elves, sir. 'I heard a deal that I didn't rightly understand, about an enemy, and rings, and Mr. 'Well, sir,' said Sam dithering a little. But just you up and answer his questions straight away!'

Gandalf's eyes flashed and his brows stuck out like bristles. There ain't no eaves at Bag End, and that's a fact.' 'Eavesdropping, sir? I don't follow you, begging your pardon. It is some time since I last heard the sound of your shears. 'Nothing! Leastways I was just trimming the grass-border under the window, if you follow me.' He picked up his shears and exhibited them as evidence. 'Sam Gamgee is it? Now what may you be doing?' 'Well, well, bless my beard!' said Gandalf. There was a squawk, and up came Sam Gamgee's curly head hauled by one ear. Then with a dart he sprang to the sill, and thrust a long arm out and downwards. Frodo became aware that all was very quiet, inside and outside. But if you look for a companion, be careful in choosing! And be careful of what you say, even to your closest friends!
