The Simple Life was a virtual representation of one of Kassandra's genetic memories, relived by Layla Hassan through the Portable Animus HR-8.5.

Description

Kassandra returned to Dyme to play hide and seek with Natakas and Elpidios and prepare a family feast.

Dialogue

Having returned to work after some time to start a family, Kassandra received a letter from Darius.

• Kassandra: A letter from Darius. Says he's hosting a celebration in Dyme. This I have to see.
• Letter from Darius:
  

Kassandra,

We have both committed to keep secret our new home and lives, but we must do more than just survive. Boars have been sighted recently rummaging for food in Dyme, and the villagers could use a misthios to help eradicate them.

Return back home when you are done. I have a celebration with Natakas and Elpidios.

Kassandra made her way back home to Dyme and met Darius overlooking the hill, as was his vigil.

• Darius: Kassandra.
• Kassandra: Darius.
• Darius: I heard you coming, you know.
• Kassandra: I wasn't trying to sneak.

Darius placed his hands on his hips, disappointed in her lack of attempt.

• Darius: Mh-hm.
• Kassandra: It's good to see you.

Darius nodded, then turned back to lean forward on the guardrail.

• Darius: They've missed you.

It's hard being away from family.I have drachmae to make.

• Kassandra: You know there's nowhere else I'd rather be.

• Darius: Adventure calls to people like us. For so long, my purpose was Persia. She was all I could see. But a parent's duty is not to their ambition. It's to their family, Kassandra.

Kassandra considered his words, then sighed. Darius walked back towards the front yard.

• Kassandra: How's my boy?

Darius smiled and took the opportunity to play a joke on Kassandra. He turned around feigning worry.

• Darius: Oh, he's in terrible danger, Kassandra! Elpidios is missing!

Kassandra stepped forward, shaking her head and spreading her arms in disbelief.

• Kassandra: What?

Darius dropped the ruse and chuckled. Kassandra raised an eyebrow, then rolled her eyes. She realized what Elpidios missing really meant.

• Kassandra: They're playing hide and seek again?
• Darius: You know... It was Natakas' favorite game too, when he was Elpidios' age.

(Asked "How are Natakas and Elpidios?")

• Kassandra: How are they?
• Darius: We've been getting used to being in one place. It's harder than you think

(Asked "What are the Order doing now?")

• Kassandra: Heard anything about the Order?
• Darius: Nothing. No news. After the Tempest, they've gone quiet. They're never quiet.

(Chose "Let's find Elpidios.")

• Kassandra: Is Elpidios at the usual spot?

Kassandra chuckled.

• Kassandra: He loves that beach.
• Darius: Make sure you find the boy.
• Kassandra: I always do.

The two walked across the front yard.

• Kassandra: After you, Darius.
• Darius: Come, the beach is this way.

Darius took off down the hill like an ibex.

• Kassandra: You're still quite fast, Darius.
• Darius: Maybe you're just getting old.

Kassandra laughed as they continued to run towards a mineshaft. They descended the scaffolding into the caves below.

• Kassandra: I've faced walls of flame, skies black with arrows, and more beasts and blades than Herakles himself... But none match parenthood.
• Darius: It's a different kind of battle. You'll do fine, Kassandra. You are doing fine.

The cave opened right onto Elpidios' favorite beach.

• Darius: Wherever could Elpidios be?

Elpidios' giggle could be heard amidst the shipwrecks.

• Kassandra: Elpidios! Mater's coming to find you.

She inspected the giant water jars.

• Kassandra: Elpidios loves splashing around in the water jars! I wonder... Is my little warrior here? Guess not.

She inspected the disturbed pebbles near the tent on the beach.

• Kassandra: Where's my baby? Where's my son? A tent! We used to sleep in one and watch the stars together. That's where he must be.

Elpidios squirmed nearby.

• Kassandra: Oh no! Elpidios sure is great at hiding.

She inspected the shipwreck with the large model boat outside the opening in the hull.

• Kassandra: This shipwreck look like it can hide Elpidios and his pater. Let me take a look.

Kassandra continued to stalk around the beach while Natakas and Elpidios hid behind the shipwreck. Eventually, Kassandra pounced in front of them with her hands high in the air.

• Kassandra: Aha! Found you.
• Natakas: Wow! Isn't mater a mighty misthios? She will surely tell tales of this epic adventure for years to come! Don't forget to pay the misthios for her heroic services—
• Kassandra: Ah, my usual rate.
• Natakas: Welcome home.

This is not my home.Flirt – It's hard being away from my loves.

• Kassandra: I've missed you, my love. Both of you.

She leaned in to kiss Natakas.

(Asked "How are you, Elpidios?")

• Kassandra: How's our littlest warrior? Been on more of your famous adventures, no doubt?

Elpidios cooed.

• Kassandra: A Cyclops? Oh my!

Elpidios cooed some more.

• Kassandra: You slew how many Athenians? Impressive! You're putting Brasidas' record to shame!

Natakas laughed.

• Natakas: Oh stop!

(Asked "How are you, Natakas?")

• Kassandra: How've you been?
• Natakas: Safe. Feeling safe. Relaxed.

Elpidios cooed and Natakas looked down at him.

• Natakas: Except our little warrior's appetite keeps growing. Greedy boy.

(Chose "The note mentioned a celebration.")

• Kassandra: Darius sent me a note—something about a "celebration"?
• Natakas: We figured it was time for a little family gathering.

Darius appeared.

• Darius: And it's not a family gathering without a great feast!
