Oh, I see... yeah, I guess I'm in the minority in that the Halbarad in my head-canon wouldn't mind the idea of a statue--he might make a show of not liking it but deep down he would be touched and love the actual rendering of it, and Aragorn knew that.
This is why I actually don't read very much Halbarad fanfic right now, except small ficlets here and there like yours and Linda's and a few others. I want to firm up "my" Halbarad without too much influence from fanon, then after I feel I've written all the stories I need to really establish my version of him in my universe, I plan to go out into the greater wilds of fandom and read how others have interpreted him.
