In the same way humans read each other's faces such as recognizing slight grins or eyes widening, Ziamlia read even more subtle details such as changes in blood pressure, body temperature, and practically almost anything on a cellular level. Even though they can read these signs, they still have to go through the effort of deciphering what they actually mean much in the same way we have to translate languages. The more "alien" aliens would require universal translators to communicate with, but these translators would be programmed to recognize the subtleties as opposed to only spoken words.
