"Nice to meet you, Elio," Vanya says, cheerful in the reserved way that she ever feels anything. Before it was because pills kept her numb. Now, it was about not knowing how to feel and when a feeling will creep up and overwhelm her. She's doing what she can to stay in control. Standing here in front of a violin that might soon be hers and the unthreatening company of another musician, she's feeling bolder in her heart.
"Where did you find it? I wouldn't even know where to look..." As luck would have it, in her case, the instrument kind of found her. She wonders if it was the same for Elio.
"I... want to," She admits, feeling bizarre embarrassment by just how badly she does want it. "It depends on the price and if the shop owner will let me play it." Part of her doesn't want to buy it without playing it, but what if another violin doesn't come along in her price range? Which is to say basically nothing. These are just a few of the factors keeping her feeling too apprehensive to inquire further.
