garden of the ancients

Title: Counsel of Fools
Fandom: FFXVI
Characters/pairing: Veil Courtesan/Lonely Soldier (Northreach couple)
Rating: Explicit
Word Count: 1639
Notes: Fill for the ffxvi_kink_meme found here. I like to think [courtesan] knows what he wants, and [soldier] is still developing the confidence to return it. Might write some more exposition for them at a later date.
