Take Me a Husband

Take Me a Husband was a virtual representation of one of Eivor Varinsdottir's genetic memories, relived by Layla Hassan through the Portable Animus HR-8.5.
==Description==
Eivor came across a woman and man in an argument about her love life and approached them.
==Dialogue==
Eivor overheard a conversation between a spinster and a man as she moved towards them.
*Spinster: Every day my loins wither with waiting. When will he come to me?
*Anglo-Saxon Man 1: God doesn't give a rat's arse about your love life.
*Spinster: Then do it for the money. I am willing to pay good coin to someone who believes in true love.
*Anglo-Saxon Man 1: I will not be caught up in your womanly schemes, witch.
Eivor spoke to the woman.
*Eivor: I know a few things about love.
*Spinster: Do you? Or did you hear the chime of my coin purse?
*Eivor: Does it matter?
*Spinster: No. Not when the village children pelt my door with vegetables, call me "old maid" and "witch."
*Eivor: You need someone to protect you? From children?
*Spinster: Leave your scorn. There is a man, we have been secretly betrothed for years. But his father refuses our union. So you will kidnap him and make it look good! His house is near here, surrounded by red flowers.
*Eivor: Wait...I will kidnap him?
*Spinster: You will know my love by his red hair. And try not to kill his father. That will put a damper on our happy day.
Eivor left as the woman was left pondering on what to cook for her love.
*Spinster: I will roast him a fat hen. Or a stew. Would he like that?
Eivor also retrieved a note near the woman's house.
Eivor soon found a house surrounded by red flowers. 
*Eivor: Surrounded by red flowers. This must be her love's house.
There, Eivor found and spoke to a man outside.
*Eivor: I am here from your love.
*Lover: Who are you?
*Eivor: That's the spirit! Let us make your father believe the fiction.
*Lover: Wait. What? What is this?
*Eivor: I, the dread Vikingr Eivor, have come to steal your sons!
Eivor fought with the man.
*Lover: Saints preserve us! The heathens have come to slaughter us in our beds! What in God's name? You brute!
Eivor bested him in hand-to-hand combat and then tied him up. She soon carried him to the spinster.
*Lover: Please, please!
*Eivor: That's it, keep up the act.
*Lover: Ow, my head.
*Eivor: You'll be with her soon.
Eivor soon brought the man to the spinster in her house.
*Eivor: Yes, this is him. O my sweet pudding! Please, lay him gently down.
Eivor put the man down on the floor. Moments passed, the man awoke from his injuries.
*Lover: Who are you? What is this?
*Spinster: Hush, my love. All will be well.
*Eivor: Wait...so this boy is your lover? Or no?
*Spinster: He will be. I have watched him for many turns of the Sun. And now he will know of my burning love. Thanks to you.
*Lover: You watched me? That is...so...
*Eivor: Strange and unnatural?
*Lover: Romantic. That you would go to such lengths, to win my heart? It touches me in places I cannot speak of.
*Spinster: You have my thanks, Dane. Take your reward and leave us. Plow me, soft one, scythe the weeds from my field.
Eivor left the two to their romance.
==Outcome==
Eivor defeated the man in a fistfight and brought him to Cynewise.
