I posted this in another thread, but I’ll post it here, too, since it’s relevant.

A Neal/Mulan coupling? Don’t count on it, but James does get why the two might get along. “I think they’re similar,” he said. “They’re a bit of kindred spirits in terms of being on the outside a little bit, you know? So yeah, I certainly think there’s a bond.” And while Neal has some skills of his own in defending himself, he may get some help. “[Mulan’s] got impressive skills as a warrior that can come in handy,” he added with a smile. source: TV Fanatic

Hopefully, this will put to bed any continuing rumors about a would-be Neal and Mulan coupling. MRJ says Neal and Mulan are “kindred spirits” even though their relationship has been confirmed by Eddy and Adam to be purely platonic. Who else are said to be kindred spirits? Emma and Killian. Possibly, Emma and Hook might develop a really close bond which is platonic? Just because two people are kindred spirits does not mean they are necessarily romantically linked.
