After james finds the broach that contains the spirit of the ocean macaw, he wearing most of the time, james learns quite a bit from the ocean macaw, or as he prefers to be called, axel, axel becomes a pseudo uncle figure to james,
No one notices that james is harboring a pirate spirit until sofia and miranda over hear james talking to seemingly thin air, (only the wearing of the broach can see axel) but they do a double take as james starts the habit of humming sea shanties, sea folk take their shanties VERY seriously
