There was little doubt in Jim's mind that Pike saw him as useful. He'd be a fool not to, except for the part where Jim had no power here and very little influence at this point. His rift with the young captain went unhealed. But at the same time, Jim was aware that Pike was aware that it was Jim who saw fit to give Pike and Spock a chance. He was probably aware that Jim liked them both, at the same time that he was wary of them.
That didn't stop Jim from liking them, or taking an interest in seeing them beyond what he might term "business." No doubt Pike would consider that foolish. Jim just lived by different rules.
He showed up at the arranged time, at the new quarters Pike and Spock had secured for themselves and which Jim hadn't exactly done anything to prevent.
