Comrades in arms! Slick's also met Dany already, so he'll recognize that Jon speaks one of the languages she does. He's also used to being stuck in a war that'll end badly for him no matter who wins, and he doesn't have any legally recognized parents. They've got so much in common!
Also Slick's been missing his brothers and trying not to think about what a jerk he was to them the last time he saw them, so he's a potential surrogate sibling too. He's used to being the big brother, but he's also... really young. Like, physically and neurologically 21, but chronologically he's 10½. So he's running on half the experience and zero childhood.
So that's a. That's a whole thing right there, if you want to poke at it.
