trying to get a bit too familiar

[redgiant]

A guy: "You are quite wealthy, are you not? Bring a lot of expensive jewelry with you?"

A nobleman:"I shouldn't answer that. Seems as though this scoundrel might be trying to get a bit too familiar. Sizing up the potential loot, I should think. "

Background: A guy approached a nobleman and tried to scope out some information from him. The obnoxious nobleman didn't fall for that.

How to understand "get a bit too familiar"? Does it mean the guy was trying to gain something from the nobleman's by being friendly towards him? Thanks

Does it mean the guy was trying to gain something from the nobleman's by being friendly towards him? Yes, and being a nobleman, he would not wish to associate with the scoundrel.
