[Vanya doesn't notice how intensely Five stares at her, caught as she is in the question of daring to pick up a violin again. Even if she did notice, she'd brush it off as Five being intense about everything.
But she hears what he doesn't say. He misses hearing the violin. A small smile comes to her face as she thinks about it. He always had been the one who sought her out most while she was practicing. At the time, she'd feared it was only because Five so disliked the others that he could stand to tolerate her music, but with her new confidence and distance from the pain of their childhood, she thinks he just liked the music and her company. It's funny that the simplest explanation for his behavior had been the hardest for her to believe at the time.]
...Alright. But only if you promise to spot me the first time I start again, okay? [Vanya trusts that out of any of their siblings, Five is the most qualified to stop her in her tracks if he sees her power getting out of hand without freaking her out enough to take down a building.]
