Being an elf, Thanneth had little need for sleep.  This night, however, she retired to her bed, wanting to be refreshed and ready for the difficult quest ahead of them.  Her sleep was quiet and dreamless; however, she still woke early.  Moving quickly, she donned traveling tunic, leggings, boots, and leather vambraces.  She belted her sword to her waist, slung her bow and quiver over her shoulder, and went down the stairs to the dining room, braiding spikes into her hair as she did so.  When she sat down to eat, she was in full shieldmaid mode and ready to ride.
