Summary: As Aragorn's convalescence continues, a storm blows in...

The days of Aragorn’s convalescence passed slowly, into the new year. The Hobbits left, but winter stayed. The snow piled up, and eventually, the village of Tâduin found itself snowed in as another blizzard raged. Aragorn found himself still lying abed, feeling miserable and useless as his ankle slowly mended.

When the storm finally ceased, they had to dig their way out of the lodges to get anywhere. Aragorn wasn’t up to the task, though thankfully his uncles were present to lend a hand – women took their part, too, and finally a solid tunnel of snow was formed from the mouths of the lodges to the icy river. The overflow of clean snow was packed away in underground vessels; it could be used when water was scarce.

Finally, the snow was at a more manageable level, and Auntie Darwisa pronounced Aragorn healed. He was doubly grateful to walk out of the lodge unsupported, and look over the white fields unencumbered by pain. His uncle Taithir would now resume lessons, and Aragorn found himself eager to learn alongside the young ones. There was much yet he had yet to discover about his own people!

Finally, he could put idleness behind him.

I love imagining how integrated Aragorn is, in your tale, in the life and activities of his people.

He's making his place among them, at last, and he's finally able to be up and about unsupported, which must feel delightful after being out of commission for any time at all.

Aw, finally free again! I imagine Aragorn is not someone who takes being stuck in bed very well...
It's interesting to see young Aragorn finding his way among his people in this series!
