A Quiet Homecoming was a virtual representation of one of Eivor Varinsdottir's genetic memories, relived by Layla Hassan through the Portable Animus HR-8.5.

Description

An injured Eivor returned to Ravensthorpe as Sigurd's choice in Hordafylke determined his path with Eivor.

Dialogue

Eivor stepped onto the Ravensthorpe dock and began walking, only to make it paces before she grabbed her side, still hurt from Basim's attack earlier.

• Bragi: Steady, Eivor.

Eivor nodded and carried on through her settlement as Tove noticed.

If Eivor walked with SigurdEivor came home alone

• Tove: Eivor ... Sigurd.
• Eivor: Tove.

Tove looked at both warriors and shook Eivor's hand.

• Tove: Welcome home.

Eivor and Sigurd kept walking forward. Both siblings walked forward and saw a feast had been finished.

• Eivor: We missed a great feast, it seems.
• Sigurd: Eivor...

Eivor looked to Sigurd.

• Sigurd: Sit a moment ... and rest.
• Eivor: Sigurd.
• Sigurd: For me.

Eivor went and sat on the jarl's chair. Both smiled and nodded at each other as Randvi entered the hall.

• Randvi: Gifts of the gods, you are back!
• Sigurd: Safe and standing tall.
• Randvi: Did you ... did you find what you were looking for?
• Sigurd: We did, we did. But it was not for us.

Randvi stared at the two, uncomprehending the sudden change from when the siblings had left.

• Randvi: What is this?
• Eivor: I, ah...

Sigurd nodded to Randvi as he let Eivor lead.

• Tove: Eivor! You've returned. Is .... is Sigurd with you?
• Eivor: No ... not for now, Tove.

Tove nodded as Eivor left, moving forward. Eivor came into her longhouse and noticed a feast that has been done. She looked at the jarls chair and walked forward, but remorsefully sat on the ground beside it.

• Randvi: Eivor, is that you?
• Eivor: It is.
• Randvi: Is Sigurd not with you?
• Eivor: He stayed behind. To begin anew.

Randvi nodded.

• Randvi: Stand up.
• Eivor: What?
• Randvi: Stand. This seat is yours.

Eivor stood and then sat in the chair.

• Randvi: It suits you.

• Tove: Eivor's returned! Inside, at the hearth! Come!

Tove entered as more of Ravensthorpe's residents followed.

• Randvi: Your secret is no longer safe.
• Gudmund: Eivor? Randvi? What is this? Is everything all right?
• Randvi: Our jarlskona has returned to lead us forward into an uncertain future. Will you speak to your people?
• Eivor: For love and joy, words can jade. Our souls must sound in a heartful song. And when ... no, no...

Eivor stood up to her people.

Eivor sits as the new jarlskona of Ravensthorpe

• Eivor: You are less mine than I am yours. And I ask of you only this, keep me honest in the times to come.

Her people looked around as Bragi came forefront and began to sing a skaldic verse. Everyone started to beat their chests in tune as Eivor rejoiced with her people.

• Bragi: Hearken well, in hall of kings
  On ocean-steed my words gain wings.
• Group: Odin's mead, I forth will bring,
  For noble deeds, thine honor sing.
  We beat and blazed our trail of red
  Till Odin gazed
  Upon the dead
  Then horns resounds the mighty hall.
  For those who fight For those who fall.
  For those who fight and those who fall.
  Then horns resounds the mighty hall.
  For we who fight For we who fall.

After a night of celebration, Eivor woke up in her bed to start a new day.

Outcome

Eivor was welcomed back as Ravensthorpe's new jarlskona, despite Sigurd's new path.
