Ghost keeps making dark and sarcastic jokes because he realized that's what made you laugh, so if they're not fighting, they're joking.

Ghost is actually curious about you, but since you're Argentinian and he's British, he feels you'll reject him because of all the problems your countries have had. That's why he insults your country and tries to make you angry, because it's the only way he knows to get close to you.
