The Rekindling

The Rekindling 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 upon a scene of marital strife.
==Dialogue==
At Alrekstad, Eivor found a woman pacing outside a house, bickering with her husband inside.
*Raid-loving Husband: My love for you rises tall and strong, like the Tree of Life!
*Raid-loving Wife: Do not promise me a mighty branch, then let me down with a tiny twig.
*Raid-loving Husband: Freyja's beard, it has wilted again! I cannot stay firm when you talk to me like that!
Eivor approached the woman.
*Eivor: Does everyone in Alrekstad play their love-games so loudly?
*Raid-loving Wife: No, it is just my husband. He cannot satisfy his wife.
*Eivor: Ah. Old age?
*Raid-loving Wife: No, he is still young and fit. It was not always so. You could not keep us apart when we were raiding.
*Eivor: He would plow you during raids?
*Raid-loving Wife: Our first time was in the middle of a burning village... after a while, the crew made us stop. They said it was distracting.
*Eivor: Love can burn brighter near death. Have you tried revisiting these memories?
*Raid-loving Wife: Ja, but talking about it is not the same. I need to feel it. Smell it.
*Eivor: So, you need to bring the excitement of the raid into your bed.
*Raid-loving Wife: You could help us pretend we are raiding! That will make my water flow! Come, we must tell my husband.
*Eivor: I was only... Well, all right.
The woman led Eivor into the house.
*Raid-loving Wife: Grab your weapon, you big, strong vikingr! Today, we raid!
*Raid-loving Husband: A raid? Now?
*Raid-loving Wife: Join me in the blood-dance! Fill me with your battle lust!
*Raid-loving Husband: O ... yes! Yes! Let us go viking! Maybe you could start by breaking things?
*Raid-loving Wife: And scream as you do. Like it is really happening.
Eivor did as asked, breaking some nearby crates and jugs.
*Raid-loving Husband: It is ... amusing, but not arousing.
*Raid-loving Wife: Ja, it does not feel real enough.
*Eivor: Maybe you need more fire, like your first time.
*Raid-loving Wife: Yes! Burn down our house! Burn it to the ground!
Eivor set fire to the dry straw on the ground.
*Raid-loving Husband: That did it! I am as hard as Heimdall's tower!
*Raid-loving Wife: Then ram me like the Valgrind Gates and enter Valhalla! Take all the plunder you want, vikingr! Take us also, and let the love-hunger consume you!
*Eivor: Another time, maybe, but I will help myself to your chest.
==Outcome==
Eivor helped the couple with their issues and was compensated for it.
