chummy
Like old pals
Chummy means friendly in a familiar, easygoing way: They got chummy over drinks.
The word often carries a hint of suspicion—that the friendliness is calculated or inappropriate: The mayor seemed awfully chummy with the developers.
To be chummy with someone suggests closeness that others might find questionable or exclusive.
