I believe that the relic didn't work on him. And that he still pretended to be affected by it since he now knows her actual age and reason. Because I know for a fact anyone who doesn't know tyer's real age would carry her in their arms like that, besides he is a big figure, a commander! Oh gramps def has a soft spot for tyer even though he doesn't know that's his granddaughter.
