"I wonder why that is. Maybe it's because it's a... oh, the word, a conduit? Is that it? Something that can be used to direct power?"
Then she pauses before she can start to ramble and quickly begins to apologize, "Oh, I'm sorry. I'm probably speculating on things that I shouldn't be, but I can't help myself. I tend to find myself feeling curious and... well, I can't control myself at all. It's just a really bad habit of mine. But, I think I heard of that term in a book I read a long time ago, so that may not even be right."
Her curiosity about things involving people was worse than just a "bad habit" if she was being honest with herself that way of describing it was nothing but an understatement. It was part of the reason why she had found herself in serious trouble in her own world.
"It sounds as if we do then," Marie nods but then her eyebrow raises and she glances around before finding herself nearly mouthing, "A successor? I mean, I suppose we all should want to go home, I suppose..." Before she could continue her thought, Marie hears Elsa's idea and then she changes her words over to, "Wait, are you sure about that? You really don't have to ask for people to send offerings."
This is more out of not having an understanding of why she would need to have them. The bay, in her mind, was already providing more than enough, more than what she felt she deserved. They were giving her shelter and a way to protect herself. That was more than she deserved, especially without having any idea of what she was doing as a goddess, or acting goddess. She also feels guilty about her using the situation for her own ends and only wants to make sure she can give back what she can and then some.
Then Marie realizes that she had been asked another question and shakes her head. "I'm afraid not. I think the person who is on the throne for Summer is another woman, though."
