Eowyn opens up a chest, lifts out a sword and unsheathes it. She holds it up and runs her hand down the blade. She practices swiping with it, and as she turns around her sword meets Aragorn's knife
ARAGORN:(sword and knife still held against each other) You have some skill with a blade.
EOWYN:(Swings her sword round swiftly, releasing it from Aragorn's knife and puts it away) Women of this country learned long ago: Those without swords can still die upon them. I fear neither death nor pain.
ARAGORN:What do you fear, my lady?
EOWYN:A cage. To stay behind bars until use and old age accept them. And all chance of valor has gone beyond recall or desire.
ARAGORN: (shakes his head) You're a daughter of kings......a shieldmaiden of Rohan. I do not think that would be your fate. (he turns and walks away)
