The question isn't if he tried to anger Belkar, he *did* anger Belkar and knew what the outcome of telling him would be.

Just like he knows the outcome of when he'll talk with that Druid he mentioned to the Lizardfolk duo.

He and Belkar also have an history of antagonizing each other, so it's not like he was trying to sooth the murderer.
