chummier

Warmer in manner

Chummier is the comparative form of chummy, meaning more friendly or companionable in an informal way.

Someone who becomes chummier grows warmer and more familiar: After a few drinks, the guests got chummier with each other.

The word can carry a hint of skepticism about the friendliness being genuine or appropriate.
