Hoo boy. Poor Raika was rendered speechless. A small pout came from the flushed red haired woman who’d seemingly lost her composure.
She’d have to get him back for this eventually!
“R-Right..! I, uh, I’m n-not complaining- I’d love your company!”

And it was at that particular word her resolve fumbled. Her face lit up a brighter pink, words suddenly becoming a challenge to get across to Zack.
“W—What..! A date!?”
Even though she knew he meant it platonically, the thought would still naturally leave anyone flustered.
Especially someone

"Oh.ᐣ prove it then.ᐟ all I'm hearing is all bark but no bite. so show me if you're not afraid of eating food with me.ᐟ come onnn, it be like a date.ᐟ"
...Zack meant that in a friendly way, he doesn't mean it as an actual date, by this point this merc tend to call a hangout a 'date'

Cheeks were flushed a light pink, both as her mind ran wild and since she wasn’t about to let him get away with teasing so easily!
“Me? Chicken? I’m not afraid of eating food with you!”
𝐑𝐚𝐢𝐤𝐚
"Haha, I can't wait for it then.ᐟ now then... shall we get something to eat.ᐣ my treat.ᐟ"
He'll grinned at Raika as he meant it and would love to eat out, he's been starving for something to eat about now so it'll be nice.
"or too chicken to eat out with little old me~.ᐣ" He's joking.ᐟ

“Oh, I will. You’ll see just how good I’ve become~!”
The one detail she’d fail to bring up is how she’d been a First Class for not even a day. Nope, he didn’t need to know that minor detail just yet.
It would be a discussion for another time— Or whenever he chose to ask about her SOLDIER days.
𝐑𝐚𝐢𝐤𝐚
"Huh... first class.ᐣ I must have really missed alot."
He'd shook his head and smirk sharply at her before nodding.
"Fine then, if you 𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘭𝘺 became first class than I can't wait to see you in action." Oh, he believes her alright. He's just being a playful fool and acting like he doesn't believe
