"Jonathan is the new junior undersecretary. I just promoted him," Fletcher added on to his friend's humble introduction. He wanted Jessa to know that he'd been busy all of December, hiring people, promoting people, all that jazz. See, he had a very valid reason he hadn't been able to help with all of the wedding preparations.

He caught her glance in the direction of the Minister AND two of his new hires. Oh, they were friends, huh? Perfect. Fletcher loved when everyone got along, and he started to guide Jessa that way. "Jonathan, come with us. I'll introduce you to two of our new scribes and personal assistants." He arrived to the hugging group in a few strides and positively grinned at the sight of them all. Didn't they just look so COZY and FRIENDLY already? Oh look, Victoria had made her way here too.

"Charles, Kodee, Kaiser..." Err, what was his first name again? It didn't matter to Fletcher, he supposed, since he also exclusively went by his surname. "Good to see you all here! Cheers to the new year?" He gestured that they should all clink glasses.

Oh wait, not everyone had a drink in hand. "Jessa," he turned toward his gorgeous wife and flashed her a winning grin, "would you be a dear and fetch us all another round?" And she could take Victoria with her to get those drinks, heh. Ya know, so the men could talk VIP business.

"Pleasure to meet you too, Bryan," David replied automatically, almost robotically, as he had been taught to do. He did get the other man's name wrong, but it wasn't on purpose. Mostly he was distracted by Jessica calling out her brother for being single. Yikes. Big yikes for Bryan. Davie gave the man a sympathetic glance, or at least as sympathetic as he could manage, which mostly just looked like his regular facial expression with a slight frown in Bryan's direction. See, this was just another reason to appreciate being born an only child. Davie only had plants and books and the occasional odd artifact or brooch to compete with for his parents' hearts.

"Only the one famous friend, actually," David turned his blue eyes back to intently stare at Jessica. Funny; tonight he hadn't said aloud that they would have won.... was she a legilmens? Or just recalling their conversation from the bar after the first night of the contest? He stared at little more at his former partner until Genny decided to pipe up. PARTNER. What was wrong with Geneva, emphasizing the word like that. He again began to turn a bit pink, and hastily tossed back the rest of his drink while now GLARING at Genny. He'd...he'd just not comment on Jessica's good looks, alright? Didn't it go without saying that she was very, very attractive??! They were at a professional work function, for Circe's sake. The last thing he'd need would be to accused of workplace harassment before his career even took off. AND Genny should have known that his partner for the contest would be gorgeous; it went without saying when one was in a contest involving Beauties (like her) and Brains (like him). David clearly didn't fit into the Beauties category. He barely knew how to dress himself!

Hmmph. "For the record, Erik didn't know anything," he laid his icy eyes on Chloe now. "But it would have been nice to see how the contest would have ended."

Eh, anyway. "Anyone want a refill?" Yes, David was going to excuse himself now, thanks, since he was feeling a bit salty about all this PARTNER talk. He'd get a cocktail napkin or five for Genny to autograph, but first, he'd need a few more glasses of sparkly...juice. Maybe he could knock one back at the refreshments table before returning to this group. He headed that way and caught sight of Admiral Airey giving him the old three-fingered, webbed-hand salute. David didn't quite recall what Muggle program this referenced, but the hand gesture did make his face light up a little, and he did his best to wave back to the man with the same hand movement.
