Ghost? He's just been hovering quietly, checking out the readings on those displays and hardly casting a glance at the humans. You'd almost think he wasn't listening. (Ghost is always listening.) This looks pretty typical to him: he may not understand much of it, but he's rebuilt these connections often enough to know them.
So he's taken a little off-guard when they turn that very loaded question to him. Ghost's single blue optic flits from Natasha, to Tony, to Blaze - why couldn't you be here to answer this? - then back up to Tony. His shell spins one way, then the other.
"Exo minds are structured very similarly to humans'." He's doing some rapid calculations. Blaze hates discussing it, but Tony could need this information to do his job here. More to the point, if Tony takes an evasive answer poorly, they could be in real trouble. Natasha's right: they're depending on his help.
"We didn't understand why," he says quietly at last. "We only discovered recently that they... well, that she was human once." He looks back at his Guardian, almost guilty. "Blaze doesn't like to acknowledge it."
This just isn't the time for talking about the things they want to.
