[ It's not that knowing who they are is a condition of agreeing or not agreeing. He's just curious if he already knows them. And if he doesn't, that's fine. He doesn't mingle the way others might at a party, but he's also fine grabbing a beer and just threading his way through a crowd. Kinda like hitting the bar at a club. He can talk or not talk as much as he wants. ]
[ Nope, doesn't know her. But booze is always a surefire enticement. He could go to any bar, of course, for the same type of enjoyment, but he supposes it's not a terrible thing to know some of the people Kimiko knows.
Tossing back a few beers by himself for the night and possibly getting spoken to by strangers at the bar, or going with Kimiko and spending a little time in the orbit of people who already know a person he knows and likely won't be a waste or drain of his time? Seems like a better deal. ]
Alright. I'll bring her a bottle of something.
[ Feels like a good gift all around. He's saved up a decent amount, he can fork over a little extra towards something that isn't just the equivalent of sewage water.
Want to go may not be the most accurate conclusion here; the way she originally asked. He feels neither excited nor reluctant to go, but he's open to the possibility of a decent time. And if it's a bad time — which he doubts — he'll just leave. ]
