As the company left Rivendell, Boromir deliberately took the last place in line. He rationalized to himself that it was because he was best equipped, with sword and shield, to defend the rear.
But in truth, he wished to keep an eye on the Ranger. Oh, he believed that his oath to the halfling was sincere, but Boromir did not trust the man to do what was necessary to keep the others safe.
It did not hurt, though, that from this vantage, he could also keep an eye on the Ranger's nicely-shaped posterior--and plot his own attack from behind.
