Re: shifting usage of "want"

Although the meaning is different, it seems analogous to the way
"though" is used in English.

That is, both of these are equally correct sentences:

    I went with him to the fountain, though not thirsty.

    I went with him to the fountain, though I wasn't thirsty.

As far as I know, it's considered a conjunction in both instances.
