You might just be grateful to the two boys who save you from getting blasted by MS or smashed in the face by a flying wrench. I think at the moment that's her feelings are mainly of gratitude. though it seems a time skip is coming which may develop those feelings.
The action was okay, and Asemu manages to earn another kill, though the Vagan spy escaped at the last second. The Zedas R appears and was in position to strike the Gundam Age down before Romary appeared and called out Asemu's name. He stopped, I guess because he discovers that Asemu is the pilot, but I don't understand how he ever heard her in the first place. Asemu tells her to get out of there, but then he positions himself right next to her, almost like he was using her as a shield, though I'm sure that was not his intent.
Zeheart was aware that Asemu was the pilot ahead of time what seemed to unnerve him was Romary's sudden appearance (methinks he's keeping his enemies a bit too close for his own good). Hearing a girl scream at you from outside of a mobile suit is damn common in Gundam so no need to address that. I interpreted Asemu movement towards Romary as to put himself in a position to protect her though an amateurish and ineffective one but Asemu is definitely still rough around the edges in fighting.
The Zedas R could have and should have destroyed the Gundam, which makes me wonder if they are trying to capture it or dispose of it.
Dialog at the end of the episode makes it clear that their mission is to seize the Gundam as well as a line in the fight where Zeheart promises (to himself) not to kill Asemu
And I really don't understand how the Vagan spy could say that he cannot get near the Asuno house because of tight security, yet he drove a truck with a MS clearly at the back of it (the sheet did not cover everything) all the way to the front door before anyone noticed.
when they said it was difficult to get closer to the Asuno house they meant on foot to confirm where the Gundam was if they attacked it and the Gundam hadn't been there they might have blown their entire mission pointlessly. As for the Dorado on the truck I doubt it was sitting outside the perimeter of the house for very long beyond that it seems great-grandpa Vargas is the one in charge of that seccurity and was distracted at the time.
I have to say overall this was an interesting episode it shows us one of those competitions more than one Gundam protagonist is said to be good at as a precourser to falling in the cockpit. It also lets Zeheart and Asemu interact in what seems to be a genuinely friendly way that seems like good set up for some nasty tragedy in the future. (I can see a SEED situation where two honest friends have to fight each other though this time I worry Flit's bigotry may lead to a much worse outcome.)
Also one of my favorite moments this Episode Seeing Zeheart run from a group of Genoaces. Apparently even in his high quality Zedas R he thinks they are a threat. Yay for some indirect respect for Genoaces!
