You can feel the release of the tensions of the day as Aragorn sees his family. Really lovely.

Aragorn would have definitely needed someone to come home to after such days in court. And I love that he separates himself into many parts. He would have needed to do so as a Ranger, but it looks like it's serving him well as the King. The troubles at court don't trouble his family. Instead, he can enjoy their company. Very sweet and very in-character for Aragorn!

Good for Aragorn and what a great husband and dad!

Good for Aragorn! I'm sure that like many good family men, the sight of a man who abuses his own family has to enrage him!

But you can just see how he breathes easier as he sees his family.

Hmmm...this was interesting. From the books, I never really saw Aragorn as the type of character to be violent when angry. I always pictured him as the "cold and wrathful" sort. Of course, that was merely my interpretation.

I liked the shift in emotion from beginning to end. Your element covered more extreme opposites that some of the others, and I thought you conveyed that difference fairly well, though perhaps a longer piece would have done the emotions more justice.

In any case, I rather liked this. It was simple, but had a definite point.
