#ive never studied linguistics properly but it seems unlikely that rangers kept up posh city language in the wild

With a guard freaking out like "KING ELESSAR YOU ARE KING YOU HAVE PEOPLE TO DO THIS FOR YOU"
And then he goes out hunting. Alone. Just to really annoy that guard. Freaks the entire palace staff out. The Kingsguard thinks the King has been kidnapped or held for ransom. Arwen is chill. Her ladies are not. Then Aragorn comes back in like. A week. With a dozen deer. And a new incredibly rustic sled.
That one guard goes mental. "KING ELESSAR YOU ARE KING YOU DON'T HAVE TO HUNT FOR YOUR OWN FOOD PEOPLE WILL BRING YOU FOOD. ALSO WHY ARE THERE SO MANY DEER."
Aragorn's like. "Well I want to keep hunting. If I'm not allowed to I'll legit start social hunting events so that I can show off my rangering skillz"
Guard gets confused "Did. Did you just. Put a Z. At the end of skills. Instead of S. What is this northern madness"
Aragorn calmly replies "it's northern swag bro no cap"
Guard completely mystified. Wants to quit but doesn't. Because northern stuff is cool now and he's learning it from the King himself. Also the pay is AMAZING.
And that one guard is how Aragorn gets the entirety of Minas Tirith using slang the exact wrong way. Whenever the Rangers visit they're so confused. And the Gondorians are like "I'm all hip with the chill northerners, ayyyyyy"
Aragorn has to field so much confusion from the Rangers. And he tells them not to correct the Gondorians bc its the highlight of his entire day every time someone on his council says "dude bro bish we gotta budgie the gals to the money ayyyy bruh there's a legit happening there no cap" and it makes NO SENSE
And Aragorn (and Arwen too let's be real here) is loving the chaos.
I bet after Aragorn became king he would continue to be Just Some Chill As Fuck Dude. You go to the market and there’s the king of Gondor. Buying turnips.
