What surprises her is that he hesitates. To Blaze, at least, the answer is obvious, and she tilts her head a bit as she waits for him to reach a conclusion. It's still the one she expected. But it's an answer less of instinct than of determination and reason. Less spark and more steel.

"Yeah. I'd do the same." She folds her arms, and Ghost glances up at her from where he's floating in downcast silence. "Truth is, I don't know how I feel about it. Seems to me there's a good reason we leave our past behind. But... actively concealing the truth from him is. And you're right. It'd never work in his case. That's what we all have to accept. The only way to keep him from finding out about Steve Rogers would be to hide the Nexus from him, and even saying that out loud sounds epically dumb." And she means that in the most literal way. It's the kind of terrible plan which kicks off every ancient fireside tale that lasts five nights and, if you're lucky, turns out to be a comedy.
