Chelsa Dawning
warmfeelings
Chelsa permits Harley's original affections to persist intact. For a while. (She maintains regular upkeep of his kindlings to his lovely new friends, of course.)
And then she gets impatient, because he's so antisocial, she can feel him all kindled warm but he refuses to act like it, it's not even just her he's nasty to but her other friends as well, and there's one thing left she hasn't tried.
She doesn't really like dousing people. Even when warmth isn't aimed her way, it's still warmth, and warmth is good. But she can do it.
She does a few repetitions of the douse, late at night, while he's sleeping, and then she cuddles up to Amdon and goes to sleep herself. With any luck Harley'll be better behaved in the morning and won't even notice why.

Aelise closes her office door and sits with Harley.
"Here's the thing," she says. "I need you. Chelsa wants you. If we can both have you, fine. But I'm not so sure we can; her methods clearly aren't working like they usually do. So if you'd rather be my battery than her pet, that can be arranged."
