Von List: Kortifex, I can’t stop thinking about that verdammt Tome Page Krafft and his soldiers stole from us.
Von List: You assured me it was safe -- that nothing could penetrate that Void Spell.
Von List: How could you let it fall into enemy hands? Now Krafft knows how to stop us.

Von List: You do not sound very concerned. Why is that?
Kortifex: For the same reason you do not concern yourself with insects. Krafft is nothing.
