Rorden is not a man who hopes highly. He's long ago given up any hope to be loved and have a family, or have a home again, even though those are his deepest desires he knows he'll never have them. The home he wants will never be free again, and any other would be inadequate. And he thinks himself unlovable. So his highest hope is to continue to survive, to do good in the world, and to have a warm bed at night and warm mug of coffee in the morning on as many days as possible.
Sian hopes desperately that Kemaer is actually serious this time and will stay and love him sincerely and forever. And kind of hates himself for having such a foolish, juvenile dream about someone who abandoned him originally. He also hopes (futilely) that these damned magic powers will just go away.
Mary hopes for her vengeance, and that her vengeance will not turn her into a monster. She hopes to find a new home somewhere, with people to care for her and to care for in return after it's all over, but at the very least to Not Hurt People with her rage.
