Rick had collected himself a burger and a beer, he shrugged at Arianna's question.  "Just seemed like fun really." He took a drink of his beer and then continued.  "Nothing much deeper than that, just thought it'd be an interesting way to kill a week."  He eagerly devoured the burger as the group mingled.  He was curious to see how the evening and week would play out.  He got up and helped himself to a second burger and another beer, Rick had a metabolism like a blast furnace and usually ate quite a bit.  Cracking open the beer he took a measured drink, he had long since mastered the art of buzz control, the alcohol being the hardest element of it given how 'clunky' a drug it was.  He smiled and leaned back in his chair, enjoying the scenery and conversation.
