#sspi

This is an interesting one because I think there are some ways they would work as a pairing, but I don't personally find them compelling or uniquely compatible

One thing about ddpi and ssps that relates to this is that I think Slick would have very little patience for PI- Pickle is very polite, a bit eccentric and cerebral, tends towards whimsical tangents if given the chance to ramble, and has little ability in hand to hand combat (with a gun is another story, but I think Slick vastly prefers a stabbing or beating, it's more intimate). Slick solves most of his problems with violence and I think he would find a nuanced and deep conversation about the nature of imagination, alcoholic effects and philosophy tedious, and I don't think he tolerates things he genuinely finds boring, because he can afford not to.

In a romantic or sexual relationship I also think Slick thrives on combat and conflict, pitchiness is second nature and first instinct to him, and what Sleuth offers him is physical resistance. He won't be easy to stab and get away with, he fights back, he offers conversation through action and quips that just make him more stabbable and a bigger target, and that kind of physicality and heat-butting is Slick's comfort zone and happy place. Bashing someone against a wall and having that person spit blood in his face and grin is like a marriage proposal to him
