For a brief moment she was surprised by the gesture, but she seemed to be used to the motion and lifted her hand naturally. A slight smile crept its way to the surface. It had been a while since she'd encountered anyone with gentlemanly mannerisms. Not that the people she'd met since arriving on Earth were bad. But it seemed that much of the finer etiquette was uncommon. Most were not royalty or anything though so it was largely to be expected. 

Returning the favor Estella curtsied even though her outfit didn't really fit the occasion. Suddenly more in her element she livened up. Even without Cole's unique draw, Estella already liked this man. [color=orchid]"Forgive the attire. It isn't often I find anyone that treats me so proper. Not that I am owed it in any way. But I do miss it from time to time."[/color] That was sure to bring up some questions.

Turning she followed along side of Cole without question, well almost. [color=orchid]"I am not familiar with what Home Ec is. It's not a term I've ever come across. Could you enlighten me?"[/color] She asked turning her head and looking up slightly. Being an average height, Cole was at least six inches taller than the alien.

Any moment there was got interrupted by an explosion, warm light flooding through the windows brum the resulting flames. Raising her eyebrows for a moment it seemed that nothing changed here. Unless an alarm went off or people started yelling she wasn't sure whether to worry or treat it as your average mishap. [color=orchid]"Seems nothing changes here."[/color] She leaned slightly to try and get a better view. The area they were in, the windows did not directly face the front gate.
