How do you think Sam would address Aragorn and Faramir a few years after the Ring War?

[dreamflower]

I think in private, he'd address the King as a friend, because that's what Aragorn want. In public, he'd use whatever proper forms of address they went by. He probably would be a bit more formal with Faramir, not knowing him as well, though after more than a few years, he'd get more familiar.

My personal fanon is that Aragorn insisted all the hobbits continue to call him Strider in private.

As for public forms of address, in my 'verse, they'd use "Sire" or "Your Grace" for Aragorn and likely "Your Lordship" or "Lord" for Faramir (or perhaps "Your Grace" since Faramir's a Prince.)

I decided to go with "Your Grace" rather than "Your Majesty" since that was an earlier form of royal address than "Majesty".

But of course, all the actual titles would not be in English anyway! LOL!

(BTW, it is also my fanon that Sam didn't drop the "Mr." for Frodo until he sailed West. He kept the "Mr." in spite of Frodo being his friend but because it was a part of the Shire, so to speak.)

Thank you so much, I was needing help with a story I just posted.
