"So that's what a soulmark is?!" Raphunzel said in amazement as Elias finished explaining to him "yes, in fact we have soulmarks on our wrists to compare and find our soulmates due to their personality" Elias said
"So Esme is our shared soulmate?" Raphunzel said curiously "yes it does seem that way doesn't it" Elias said with a smile on his face "I don't mind sharing" Raphunzel said with a nod
"I'm glad you're being so open minded about this, I was a bit nervous about how you'd react" Elias said making Raphunzel look confused "why would I react any differently?" Raphunzel said tilting his head
Elias sweatdropped remembering what Esme said about him being a sheltered child so he just cleared his throat and decided to change the subject altogether "alright...so how about pursuing Esme" Elias said
"Pursuing?" Raphunzel said curiously "yes how about we build up a relationship with Esme so she can feel loved and wanted" Elias said with a soft smile "I like that idea" Raphunzel said with a nod
A certain blue fox passed by the room as this was said and turned into his human form to open the door Elias and Raphunzel looked towards the door to see an unfamiliar looking man with black hair and blue eyes
"I'm afraid that will be difficult to accomplish" Blaze said making Elias raise an eyebrow at him "and you would be?" Elias said cautiously "no need to be alarmed you've met me before, I was the little blue fox from before" Blaze said
"Ah! You can turn human!" Raphunzel said in shock "I can do many things, but that's not important right now...your saying you want to pursue my master in a relationship" Blaze said rubbing the back of his neck
"Yes, but why did you say it would be difficult?" Elias asked Blaze cleared his throat "well...let me give you the run-down of things" Blaze said calmly looking at the both of them
"My master isn't really planning on pursuing a relationship, she's more focused on her job more than anything...when it comes to romance it's hard for my master to cope properly since she's never been in love before" Blaze said
"Eh? But why, we're here now so we should get to love her as we wish" Raphunzel said as a matter of fact only to be stared at by Blaze and then ignored
"though you are my masters soulmates, she isn't really used to showing affection to others more like she's uncomfortable when it comes to anything affectionate" Blaze said explaining
"So that's the case huh, Esme's not used to being around men who show romantic interest in her" Elias said with a sigh "that's pretty much the gist of it" Blaze said with a nod
"Then we should let her get used to it" Raphunzel said with a pout "I also think that will prove difficult, since my master is pretty awkward most of the time unless she's with a patient" Blaze said
The next day...
Esme walked into the room only to see both Elias and Raphunzel standing in front of her 'this is a shocker indeed why aren't they getting the rest they need' Esme thought to herself as she cleared her throat
"Why are you two awake so early" Esme said narrowing her eyes suspiciously "this is early? Did you expect us to sleep in, my dear" Elias said gently caressing her cheek making her freeze stiffly
'Did he just call me, my dear and why is he caressing my face!' Esme was panicking on the inside but had a stoic face on the outside "why can't we see our lovely soulmate first thing in the morning" Raphunzel said with a smile
'OK they are obviously trying to sweet talk me! I'm going to pretend this isn't happening and react normally' Esme thought to herself staing in a composed way
"I just came to check up on you two because your my patients as soon as your both ready to go I'm going to send you back to your world" Esme said making Elias and Raphunzel freeze at hearing this
"But why?" Raphunzel said with a whine making Esme sigh "it's better I don't get myself involved with any sort of relationship, it could hinder my work" Esme said as she clenched her hands tightly in a worried way which Elias noticed right off the bat
'it's better this way, I'm not one for affection I can't even give a smile on my emotionless face, I can't give them the love they want' Esme thought to herself anxiously but she heard Elias say "I refuse to go" making her mind go blank in shock "huh!" Esme said as she stood there shocked
