Eh, and even that I read more as standard "get your shit together before dragging my little girl into it" kind of rhetoric. But. I mean. There's so much left unsaid! Elrond raised him! Aragorn's line is all that's left to him of his beloved twin! And really--aragorn and arwen don't even meet until they're both adults. So. Someday I will con someone into writing aragorn/arwen genfic about a meeting when he was a toddler, even though it's totally non-canon. Because that'd be adorable and win with bonus broken-and-wrong wrapping.
