[He can see that barely tamped down laughter as clear as day, and Robert holds onto the neck of the guitar with one hand to keep balanced while he points accusingly at V with the other.]

I see you tryin’ not to laugh! I swear to god if you do I’m not doin’ this any—

[Here, he wobbles.]

Ah, crap.

[No time like the present, then. Before he falls flat on his face, he might as well pick out another of his faves from the year before he was born. A lot more modern to him than Helter Skelter, if not way more of a pain in the ass to sing, too. But he revs up the intro a little faster than usual, and gets to playing.

Hell, this is a song that could be about Night City if he knew anything about the place other than what V’s told him. But Robert just plays furiously on one leg, singing the lyrics about as ravaged as they are in the original cut, and—

Well, he manages until he gets to about the last wailing guitar solo, when his center of gravity just can’t quite hold steady, and his fingers press into the strings for dear life as he keens a little precariously to the side.]

Fuck, if you saw this actually performed you’d know it’s hard as shit!

[ Resorting to clamping down on his bottom lip with his teeth, V's cheeks are taut with humor. Whatever struggle he's experiencing, it becomes infinitely easier when Robert actually gets down to playing. Doesn't mean it's not ridiculous, pretty gonk, but also cool in a way that V can't really explain. Not every 18 year old wants to put themselves out there like this, taking up the challenge of playing on one leg in the middle of a store.

This time the lyrics get attention, the way Robert's really injected his own energy into them. The parallels to Night City aren't lost on V.

It's not until Robert's balance looks almost shot that V finally sits forward on the couch, expression very clearly impressed. Not that he really had any doubt about the teen pulling it off anyway. ]

Made it look easy, choom. That was preem.
