Accurate.

I feel like Hinoka - in Reaper's eyes - is this neutral party. Someone who isn't truly tied to either Talon or Overwatch (even if she is to either depending on verse). In Reaper's eyes, she wasn't there on either side when the shit that happened to him...well, happened (to his knowledge at least). So, she's not at fault (tbf no one at OW is either) and so he just seeks her out because it's generally very quiet around her. He hates the quiet as he'd be locked in his containment cell for hours or days on end and it would just be quiet with only himself and his thoughts.

But just taking refuge in Hinoka's office or wherever she might be that he found her at? The quiet is nice. It's a kind of peacefulness he hasn't felt before. At first, it made him uneasy because him being peaceful? Enjoying it? That's a bad idea. He shouldn't let his guard down! However, he doesn't mind it with her because he knows she wouldn't try the sick games and experiments that Moira does.

Hinoka might be extremely curious about the nature of his....condition and he understands that. He's basically a scientific and medical mystery so of course any scientist or medical professional would want to understand him. Yet Hinoka doesn't push that. She just lets him have his moment or time doing whatever he does while she does her own thing.

Of course, at first, it was likely very off-putting for her. I mean, a man - a creature - known for just tearing people apart, just hanging out quietly in her office? He has to be planning something, right? Her death? Capturing her for Talon? It could be anything! Yet he doesn't done either of those things...or anything else. Well, save for maybe annoying her on some days or making her laugh on other days (scary thought). He's yet to kill her or show any signs of capturing her for Talon. So, it's not an order that he's there...right?

There are, of course, days where they'd be unable to tolerate one another as it was a busy or stressful day for one or both of them. Yelling at each other but it surprisingly never became physical which one would likely expect from Reaper. Normally, yes, he would escalate a verbal fight into a physical one, but he doesn't. They're both stressed or annoyed with life and she isn't his target much like he isn't the cause of her troubles (maybe).

By some miracle, they end up at "your presence brings me comfort" from "I'm tolerating you bc you're here and I can't get rid of you". Truly, a remarkable development between the two. Spoopy murder cloud is calmed and tamed by a tiny tea lady doctor. Which ironically he was also likely calmed by a literal cup of tea she handed him at some point. "You're not you when you're hungry, have some tea."

So, basically, that's the long way of writing what you said lol
