❦The Days of Old Align Anew [video; ]

[ After much hesitation on his part to address the situation towards those who hold some sort of power here, Aragorn finally decides to step forward and do just that. He honestly believes himself ill fit for such a public role, but he shan't step back and watch from the sidelines anymore.

This may come as a shock for his companions who hail from Middle-earth. Aragorn was hardly the type to step forward and lead, but usually the one forced to lead when no others would. ]

I am Aragorn son of Arathorn, and like many of you I've been drafted by the Initiative. Like you and countless others, we've been taken from our realms in order to fight a war not our own.

[ He finally stated once he realized that the tablet was recording. Aragorn possessed very little love for this means of communication, but for now he'll stomach it. Over time he'll realize just how useful these complex devices truly are but until then, he'll simply think of it as a nuisance. ]

We fight for a nameless cause, yet we're given very little initiative to fight on their behalf. While the rebels had been more than...adequate hosts; it would seem that many of us haven't fully explored this world or understand the reason of our plight. Our realms are in jeopardy by a force greater than our own, yet we know very little about our objective.

Therefore, I seek to know more about the efforts taken to achieve the Initiative's goal, and hopefully form a way for us to further our quest.

[ He paused briefly. ]

Is there anyone here willing to speak openly?

[yeah. this is the kind of thing he's used to. he smirks a little, pleased at the chance to fight and prove himself and all that stuff.]

If you're ever found in the place that's passing for a yard here-- [the training facilities. he's not pleased with them--too modern! too indoors!--but they're better than nothing.] --then I suppose I'll find out soon.

[ Now he grins since it would seem that his challenge has been accepted. ]

Ah, so you prefer the outdoors?

[ So does he. ]

Very well. Then perhaps before the Hold shall do. Seems spacious enough for us to test our blades under the sky and sun.

[futurarex]

[better and better! he nods, and wow but this is a genuine smile--]

Then I will look for you there, sir, and hope that you are match enough for me.
