Chapter 2
When Galadriel had finished, Lord Celeborn did not know whether to laugh or weep at how ridiculous he looked. Galadriel obviously pleased with her handiwork smiled and said, "You look adorable." Celeborn gave her a look letting her know that he thought he looked anything but adorable. Laughing lightly, Galadriel gave him a kiss on the cheek. There was a soft knock on the door and before Celeborn could say anything Galadriel replied, "Come in."
The door was pushed open and Haldir appeared. He looked at Lady Galadriel and bowed. He turned to Lord Celeborn and froze slightly. Quickly recovering he bowed to Celeborn as well. "Greetings my Lord and Lady, I come bearing good news." Haldir quickly looked at Lord Celeborn again, trying not to laugh. What on earth was his Lord doing with flowers braided into his hair? Lady Galadriel addressed Haldir, seeing he was doing his best not to break down laughing. "What news do you have March warden?" Looking at Galadriel, Haldir replied, "We have just received word that Lord Elrond and Lord Thranduil are to be joining us in Lothlorien for the fall festivity." Lord Celeborn looked up, "That is wonderful news, they shall be most welcome."
Galadriel looked at her husband and started to laugh. He looked so un authoritative with flowers in his hair. Haldir stood there staring at the ground concentrating hard on keeping a level head. Lord Celeborn said, "Thank you Haldir, is there anything else?" "No my Lord," Haldir replied looking past him. "Very well, you may go." Bowing, Haldir left as fast as he could, laughing as he headed back to post. That was one memory he wouldn't be soon to forget.
Still laughing as Haldir left, Galadriel turned to Celeborn and kissed him lightly. "Are you mad at me?" she pouted. Celeborn sighed. He should be angry at her for making him look idiotic in front of his head March warden, but he couldn't bring himself to get angry at her beautiful and loving face. "No, I should be, but I'm not." Pleased that he was not too upset with her, Galadriel said. "Here, let me take the flowers out." She gently started to work on removing all of the flowers from Celeborn's hair.
When she was finished she kissed him and said, "Shall I leave you to attend to your work?" Celeborn nodded yes. Galadriel quietly left and closed the door behind her. Celeborn made his way back over to his desk and read the letters. He was starting to write replies when he heard a loud shriek. Opening the door he saw a few elflings running and playing. The female elfling was trying to run from the male elfling that was holding a large bug. He smiled as he watched them play. It reminded him of Galadriel and himself, when they had been younger.
