Emilia let everyone have their rooms for free that night. They had paid enough by stopping the giants. She would however, charge for the drinks that the pirate had helped himself to. One bottle she might have overlooked but that man drank himself to sleep and went right back to drinking after he had woken up. Men had arrived to make repairs and guards had been posted to deal with any further disturbances. She was assured that the Spotless Rock Inn would be spotless again in a week. As she was to be travelling with the Crimson Company, Emilia decided to leave Ansa in charge of the Spotless Rock Inn and named her the manager so that she could hire help as she saw fit. She was confident that Ansa could run the Inn. 

Emilia had slept in Jon's old room that night. It was both comforting and depressing to be using his room. Her memories of him were all she had left now. She was determined to find out why the Giants had come down the mountains. She would follow Aldred and his company, at least until she had the answers she was looking for. As the sun rose the work men busied themselves installing beams and hammering nails. Many of the men were heading to work the mines, women were getting chores done, and children were off to the schoolhouse. With such a small town, she had gotten to know all of them when she was apprenticed to Thadius the Healer and all of them knew her. If not for the Crimson Company many of these people would not have seen the sun rise. They were truly a formidable force, even if they were only a handful of men and women. 

Emilia made a point to visit her brother's body early that morning. Anyone not from Esterfell might find it odd that there was no cemetery but that was because bodies were cremated and the ashes preserved. Thadius, the local Healer, had given her a fresh batch of general medical supplies as well as eleven vials of a potion known as Frigore Resistentia, a blood thickener that would help them stave off the cold mountain air. Emilia decided to give them each a vial now since they would be leaving soon. She spoke to the entire group. "For everyone who doesn't know, my name is Emilia Alders. I'm a Healer by trade and I'll be joining the Crimson Company. I have a potion that should help us stand the cold a bit better. There's one for each of you, best to take it now so it will take effect by the time we start getting up the mountains." Emilia laid them out for everyone to collect before they headed out.
