This was placed after Ronno attacked them and she discovered what the gloves can do but before she went all crazy. It has mentions of adult things but not a full out explanation.

I-I need space. I need the time to just figure out who I am.. you know... and it's not you... it's totally not you it's me.. and it's the timing of it all.
I don't know why it works this way but i'm never going to get over you. And so from now on, every girl I meet will be meticulously compared to you and unfortunately none of them will be able to live up to the false memory of what you and I once "had". I will now treat every woman I meet with a passive aggressive contentiousness that will ruin relationship after relationship for many years to come.
"Peder, I- I cannot see you any more. I am very sorry..."
Those words rung in his ears. He couldn't believe what had just happened. He finally had a plan and now... she was gone. If it weren't for Isolde, he would have given up by now. He was upping his rank to gain the approval of her father and He was even ready to propose to her tonight and now all of that was ruined. He knew that Greagoir would have a hard time saying no if he was say a Jack rank. It was all airs and privilege to Greagoir and Peder had hoped he could take advantage of that fact. He was a successful business owner and a higher rank, who could honestly resist giving their daughter's hand to someone like that.
Peder played with the ring in his hand as he walked back to the carriage he had reserved for them. She didn't even really tell him why, she just ended it like that. Maybe her father had gotten too her after all. Maybe she just didn't love him any more... No, there were too many questions half of them he didn't want to believe. Too many reasons she would just give them up like that. And then she said the one thing that broke his heart in half "Well... we can still be friends".
Yea. Friends. Every time he looked at her, he wanted to hold her. To protect her from all of the evils in the world. But even that was a laugh; where was he when she needed him most. In a puddle of his own blood, gasping for air while she was being raped by that... monster.
Poor thing never stood a chance against the lowlander and it was all Peder's fault. Why wouldn't she just listen to me! He slammed his fist on the door as he entered the carriage. She was rather thick when it came to her stubbornness; once she made up her mind, that was it. In that way she was a lot like Greagoir, her beloved father. Nevertheless he had failed her and now he was paying the price.
However, it probably was just an addition to those gloves. What the hell were they anyway? Images of what happened at the tea shoppe ran through his head. His beautiful Dilis had actually killed someone and in his panic, he had cleaned it up. He would do it again too if it meant he could protect her once more. It was a long carriage ride from Avington back to Capital City. He was alone for the moment all he could do was think. And he would have a lot to think about. First of which was his next step. He couldn't just give up, he had a business and a daughter to think about after all. How was he going to explain all of this to her?
Isolde had been working all day for Peder to bring home Dilis and meet her. She had been working so hard in the kitchen and now Peder had to tell her the disappointing news. He hoped she wouldn't take this too hard. It was supposed to be a joyous occasion where two families would be merged but no more. He thought carefully about what he could tell her as the carriage pulled up to his rather meager living quarters. He had saved every cent and been careful with his spending so he could afford a large home for himself and Dilis. Now he was left with his small empty home and a large sum of monies.
He got out of the carriage slowly and paid the man. Peder took a deep breath and walked into the house. The smells of a mouth-watering meal wafted in the air and that just made him feel crummier.
"Isolde, I'm home!" he called out trying not to show his emotions.
"Okay Dad, Dinners almost ready... does Dilis like Chicken or bee-" she shopped short as she entered the living room to see her Father alone and looking rather distraught.
"Where's Dilis?" she inquired. Whatever happened, she had a feeling it wasn't good.
"Well love... she's not coming. We seem to have broken up and honestly I haven't the slightest idea why".
"Oh Dad" she cried as she walked over and hugged him. At this moment, Isolde was not very happy with this Dilis woman. Her father was a catch if she ever saw one and Dilis was a fool to give him up. He could have given her an amazing life but... that's not what mattered right now. She needed to take care of her father and make sure he was going to be alright.
"If there is anything I can do, just say the word and know that I love you" she said in earnest.
Peder looked up at his daughter and grinned for the first time since he left Dilis. What an amazing woman he had helped give life, at that moment he knew everything was going to be alright.
