Katherina and Petruchio from 'The Taming of the Shrew'
Kisuke and Hiyori
Pluck
"told me you were rough, and coy, and sullen"
You had to have pluck, to approach Hiyori with a smile that big and a glint in your eye that suggests that your best intentions might not be exactly what she approves of. Or, what she wouldn't beat you up for.
She glared at him, as he passed her a dishcloth.
"What is this for?"
"For you, my dear."
Her glare only intensified as soapy water dripped between her hands, as if the cloth had just come from a still-draining sink.
"I don't trust you."
"But it is a gift!"
"Why?"
"To wash the frown off your face, of course!"
His fan flipped up just in time to catch the cloth as it came back to hit him in the face. A brave man, indeed, but the taming, it appeared, had still not quite been successful.
