Whenever there is a girl within a fifty-foot radius of James, he visibly blushes and becomes unable to form a single coherent statement to anyone.anyone.
** James takes into account what gender the person identifies as; no matter how masculine they look, he suddenly shuts up if they identify as female, and no matter how feminine they look, he becomes more talkative if they identify as male. He follows the rule even with genderfluid people, alternating between being talkative and shy depending on how the person talking to him identifies that moment.
