To Nicholas,
I hope this letter found you easily enough, and that you are in good health. I am Sylvie Robards, and I believe my completely mental sister, Lavinia, has contacted you, and knows you prior to this?
She described you thus: "He's a peach, really. He's mature, but not so mature that he's boring. Oh, he's also in The Fifth Horseman", if that information is interesting to you at all? I didn't even know there was someone called Nicholas in the Fifth Horseman
Are you free this Saturday?
Yours,
Sylvie Robards.

Dear Sylvie,
Yes, your lovely sister contacted me a day or two ago, asking me if I wanted to go on a date with you sometime - she also informed me that you're very lovely and won't ask me to sign your boobs which I very much appreciate in advance. As I've been explaining to her, it's a terribly fiddly thing to do.
Your sister's a sweetheart, honestly. I suppose I am quite a peach, although when people call me mature it makes me feel as though I'm about fifty! Is there any sort of substitute for the word mature that wouldn't make me feel so bloody old and boring? Or will we just stick with the word peach?
Saturday sounds perfect with me - if you want, you can come over and I can attempt to cook you something? The rest of the band will be out getting drunk on Saturday most probably. Signing women's boobs and that. Oh! And call me Eames, love - everybody does.
Sincerely,
Nicholas Eames

Dear Nicholas Eames,
I promise that the idea had never crossed my mind, surprising as that may sound. Do you have much experience in the breast-signing department, may I ask?
You think Lavinia's a sweetheart? Wow. I think 'peach' is a wonderful word, but I suppose that you could also consider 'grown-up' or 'well-grounded', perhaps? If it's any consolation, I am perpetually described as 'lovely' - as you have evidently found out for yourself - which rather reminds me of an old lady with cats and grandchildren. C'est la vie, I suppose.
If you're sure you want to be deprived of an evening of boob-signing, that would be wonderful. What time would you like me to arrive?
May I ask why everybody calls you by your surname?
Yours,
Sylvie

Dear Sylvie,
Oh, god, the moment the Fifth Horseman started to get anywhere we were bomboarded with boobs breasts to sign. I think Tommy especially enjoyed it.
Grown up and well-rounded both sound incredibly boring as well. I much prefer just being a peach, it sounds at least somewhat interesting. And you are quite lovely, so far, (you could turn out to be a stalker or a terrible drunk although your sister assures me you're not or just incredibly creepy although I have high hopes that you don't) and loveliness doesn't remind me of old ladies or cats or children so you're safe with me.
It'll be a struggle to get through the night without jotting my initials onto someone's breasts, but I'll get through it. Come over at seven - gives me enough time to usher my bandmates out and make sure that everything's cooked to perfection.
I've been called that since Hogwarts, I'm not sure why. Would you prefer to call me Nicholas?
Sincerely,
Eames

To Eames,
My goodness, I think I'd find that rather embarrassing! Good on you all for coping with all of that!
I don't think well-rounded is boring, peaches are well-rounded! But peach it is. I've never stalked anybody before, I hope I'm not creepy and I don't tend to drink that much, if that reassures you? I'm twenty-five and a psychotherapist, if that's further evidence of my normality positive mental state not being a complete weirdo.
Seven it is. Oh, what's your address? It might be helpful!
No, if you prefer Eames, that's fine. It just seemed a little impersonal I just wondered why, is all!
Yours,
Sylvie

Dear Sylvie,
Oh, let me assure you that it's a day-to-day struggle for us normal members of the band to be met with breasts not matter where we go but we get through it because we are so bloody passionate about music, etcetera etcetera, and of course we always stay humble, etcetera.
Consider me positively reassured! It would be highly amusing if you were any of those things but quite alarming as well if a stalker or creeper was in my flat (although they are much the same thing, aren't they?). And I've had plenty of girls who drink far too much in the band flat before and let me tell you it's a task and a half keeping them from breaking something.
Your sister should have it - she did a photoshoot for us once!
Well, it's really up to you - I've just gotten so used to Eames I sort of forget I really am Nicholas. Some fans have taken to calling me Nicky, however, which is weird but I can deal with it.
Sincerely,
Eames

Dear Nicholas/Nicky/Eames (delete as appropriate),
If a reporter from a newspaper ever asks me for whatever reason about what trials I think the members of the Fifth Horseman have to face, I shall quote you verbatim. I see you've been fully briefed on PR and the like.
Why do you let them in in the first place then? I'd go with more alarming than amusing, personally, but whatever floats your boat is fine, I suppose!
She's given it to me now, don't worry!
Well, you have to choose what you prefer, else I'll call you Rumplestiltskin and be done with it. It's your name, ergo your decision!
Yours,
Sylvie.

Dear Sylvie,
And we'd appreciate that greatly, darling. Not, of course, that you should give anyone the impression that we don't like breasts. They're fantastic things, really, and I truly am a fan of them. However, when you are trying to have a quiet night out and you are presented with a pair and expected to sign them in a very professional manner, it's a bit flummoxing.
Well, they're generally quite hot nice girls, so we can all deal with a bit of drunk-and-disorderly!
I told you your sister was a sweetheart. Glad she didn't throw the address away, that'd be a bit insulting.
I think you should call me Nicholas - it'll be a change. An experiment. I'll see how Nicholas sounds. If Nicholas is good, I may just stick with it.
Eames Nicholas

To Nicholas, Understood. You appreciate breasts in moderation, and would happily sign them in an amateur manner? My sister plans in advance. She's always oddly prepared to set me up on a blind date at a moment's notice. Not that you don't all hold a very dear place in her heart, of course, I'm sure. Nicholas it is then! I'll let you stick with Sylvie, if that's okay? Yours, Sylvie ---------------------------------
Shall we actually thread these at some point?  |

Dear Sylvie,
Yes, that is absolutely what I meant! Breasts in moderation. Absolutely. Too much of a good thing etcetera etcetera.
Christ. Has she been keeping her eye on me since the start then? Am I in some sort of filebox? Does she go around and cultivate potential blind dates?
Sylvie it is. Lovely name. Could think of nothing better to call you!
Nicholas
