Garth'zel has said earlier he could sense Anakin's feelings. He really wasn't sure how he felt about that - his feelings were a large part of the very few things he actually owned that people couldn't take from him. But it was just too large a topic for him to really understand how he felt about it.
And Garth'zel has been fairly open about how he'd grown up and how similar they were in those respects. It doesn't surprise him that he can figure out a good part of where Anakin's fear comes from. Anakin at least can feel that tight little ball in his stomach start to loosen, just a little, so it's not so sour and hard.
But that doesn't mean completely trusts what he's being told to be truth. Part is just experience - his mother's kind, gentle, firm steadiness was different, but no one he's ever been otherwise bound to has had it. And the fast switch from firm to gentle is jarring, and doesn't lend 'trust' to the equation.
"Ok." He's still tense, still watching, wary and stubborn, not sure what to do from here, but not willing to just fold back into himself and back away.
