The thing about Aragorn is, he is capable of practicing patience and restraint just as well as he is capable of kicking butt. Aragorn is subtle, which is the hallmark of any great politician. Some might even say that his initial refusal to claim the throne following Imrahil's request is a nice bit of manipulation on his part. He doesn't want to seem as though he is taking the throne away from anyone, thus creating ill will. He doesn't want to impose. He's the good guy, wisely biding his time.
