wait, i just realised that aragorn was in minas tirith during ecthelion’s last ruling years (and was kind of vip, tbh). and you know who was there too, during that time?
baby boromir.
frickin’ baby boromir.
so it seems obvious to me, that aragorn held little boromir in his arms at least once (and probably saw it when nannies changed his diapers).
Aragorn: *sees Boromir arrive in Rivendell* wait is that
Aragorn: it can’t be him. he is a baby
Aragorn: *mental arithmetic* ….oh fuck it is him isn’t it
It’s quite possible that Aragorn held Boromir at both his infancy and his death.
This is fine!
It was all fun and games until that comment
We are all fine
Guys. Guys. Aragorn probably also met Theoden as a child, too. So… just fucking imagine that shit. Eowyn even says Aragorn went off to war with her grandfather…
Aragorn: Gondor calls for aid!
Theoden, remembering this dude used to babysit him on occasion and does not want to deal with his disappointed face rn: … and Rohan will answer.
