I think the fact that the Mouth feels he was 'assaulted', indicates there may well have been
osanwe being used by Aragorn, but it is possible that it was in a sort of neutral way, that the Mouth took as an Attack.

It could be Aragorn was probing him to learn the true fate of the Hobbits, noticing the inconsistency of the garments/weapons, some Sam's some Frodo's.
