Maria returned to her childish persona: "Of course, silly. We all have dreams we want to achieve. That girl will also have them, rogue or not. And unless I can speak to her directly I won't know what they are," she then spoke with a fake frown. "However," Maria suddenly returned back to being serious, like a paper mask was suddenly dropped from her face. "If she doesn't have any dreams, well, she's just the same as the witches who have succumbed to despair, and should be treated like one. Mmm, nice coco. Good recipe, Fantine."
