He doesn't have to explain or shout in order to have people listen to him. Yet his authority is always clearly felt when reading, even already at this point, I think. I missed that a little.
Yes, I know what you mean, but I simply have another view on Aragorn: here he seems like a silent and pessimistic person to me And no "natural leadership" is shining through at these moments (maybe when he is a little happy after finishing the wolves, or when says to the others that they should follow a leader when they have one).

Well if people agree on it, I could. I would actually find it more interesting to make than the others, as it features some interesting way of acting. But only if others are comfortable with it and my youthlike voice doesn't seem disturbing there.
