 “Are you sure bringing Haldir is a wise move?” Galadriel asked her husband as they neared the outskirts of Mirkwood Forest. “He is rather promiscuous and headstrong.”

“Bringing him will be in our favor,” Celeborn answered as they entered into the tall trees bordering the forest. “You must remember that Thranduil has never really accepted my marrying you because you are Noldor.”

“And Haldir will help us how?” she asked her husband as she sensed the darkness that entangled these woods. “I would imagine he would cause trouble as he seduces everyone.”

“He will serve as both a peace offering, and a tension reliever,” came the cryptic reply.

“And how do you see him doing that?” she inquired as she could not imagine the volatile warden being an asset here.

Instead of answering, Celeborn sent her a mental picture of what he had planned. It wasn’t every day she saw a scene depicting her best March warden in that situation. She tried to contain her laughter as she saw a naked Haldir tied to Thranduil’s bedpost with rope. Covering his privates was a big red bow. Yes, now she understood what her husband had meant. Haldir was a perfect choice.
