The dwarf moved over and took the hand. His grip was powerful as befitted his race, but he'd long ago learnt not to put too much force in, not unless the other had a point to prove. As such he matched the grip, a smile on his face, pleased by the recognition. "An pleased to meet you too yer Grace." He retired back to the anonymity of the group and his smile which had faded grew again when Jonas's appointment was announced.
"Well done to yer Jonas, told yer that yer deserved it didn't I?" He smacked his colleague on the back with enough force to stagger him. The two of them were colleagues of long standing since their two offices were often closely entwined. The others quickly if less physically congratulated him.
"Thank you, your Grace," Jonas replied when he had chance, a slight flush of pleasure to his features. "It will help enormously to have structure back in the office, and if you have a candidate, then please send him through to me." He reserved judgement until he'd met this halfling, and he'd be failing his new position to promise a position regardless. Still he realised there would always be some job that he could offer, something that would be suitable to the candidates abilities.
The group settled down and waited for what the Thane had to say, for surely he had other, more important things to discuss.
