Sense Motive DC 15: He seems both eager and disappointed.

"Two weeks or so. I was waiting to do a big reveal at the Merc Guild meeting but it was interrupted."
Payk frowns. "It's what I just told you guys, about Kathal raising the dead in the graveyard. I saw him do it a couple of times." Payk willows under Glifdore's glare. "Dante's been there too! I've seen him watching a couple of times."
