That's sort of my point...coupled with this:

I think it's Vlad looking out for Kragar, and keeping him from knowing about 
the sorceress he soul-ate. Especially since Kragar doesn't apparently 
notice Lady Teldra. Plus, this gives Kragar some distance. Vlad doesn't 
want to see Kragar get killed--especially not Morganti--for simply 
associating with him.
