To be fair, he passes entirely for human aside from the speech thing, including body language. And Morgan was pretty emotive in body language, so it's not like it's a hard read.

"It's realizing that you don't have any reason to freak out that's tripping me up."

That said, Ghost lets go of his phone, which just kind of hangs right there in the air where he left it, not quite unlike the way something would hang in space in zero-gravity. (If Soldat had noticed a weirdly behaving donut hole at the Red Team meeting, now they can finger the culprit, probably.)

Then there's something like a shrug, like being human is a particularly well-loved jacket, and space warps slightly until the Phantom is standing there, looming even over a person of Soldat's height in spite of the characteristic hunch. Except for the harsh white sparks of eyes, Ghost's form like this makes other forms of black look washed out, except for an almost wet sheen.
