Aragorn speaks to Eowyn before departing on the Paths of the Dead. In the book, this is actually the first time these two characters speaks to each other, and is a much longer scene. It begins with her bringing him a goblet of mead, and their discussion includes her saying that she does not fear death, but rather "a cage," and that his other followers go with him not because he commands it but because they love him. Since these characters met earlier in the films, those story elements were used in earlier exchanges between the characters in both this and the previous film The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers.
