Carmilla can't say she's looking forward to befriending Rosemary — she seems too comfortably stationed to not be complicit somehow. She's bound to clash with someone like that. Staying cozy with someone else willing to rub elbows with her would benefit her, though.

And it's just a bonus that alcohol will be involved. "You do know the way to a girl's heart," she murmurs, and honestly the smile she gives Huaisang is a hell of a lot more charming than any of the fake ones she's flashed on command. Mostly because she's genuinely pleased by the suggestion and even a trickle of emotion helps to sell the expression better. "Sure, cutie, shopping for champagne alone is so gauche. I'm Carmilla."
