Triley takes any coins, a rag, and a single toy, and then gives Brock the rest. 'Hey Brock, if you're the Third, who was the first and second?'
Brock gives Triley the bag of candy. "They were High Psychopomps. They were in charge of guiding the dead, but now the undead do that pretty well themselves. I am a born leader, but honestly it's so hard to be a leader that I don't know how hard it would be for someone without a talent for it."
Mickey, a rat the size of a large pony, perks up and rears up on his hind legs and squeaks excitedly in verminspeech.
" Hello little brother" Mickey rumbles in a bass squeak/growl. "Welcome to the court of King Brock. Keep your human in check while in the King's realm. I would hate to have to enforce the rules to one being so friendly to our kind. What is your name?".

Mickey nods to Triley, squeaking affirmatively, then continues in verminspeak (Verminsqueak?) to Hiro
Verminspeak:"Good to hear! I am Mickey, though sometimes I go by Doc or Mick. You may see me different shaped but I still smell the same. Come to me if you need help while in King Brock's domain! Also, if you see a mangy sewer owl with brownish feathers and gray stripes don't be alarmed- that's my pet Ollie. He doesn't eat our kind- not without my permission."
Mickey sits down once again and takes a swig of Gay Turnip Ale from a small-cask with a giant handle(perhaps a mug designed for large creatures?).

'So, you guide the dead now?'
You guys are awesome and mean so much to me. And mean so much to each other.
"No, I guide the kids. There isn't really anywhere to lead the dead at this point, so I chose a much more attainable goal."

'Yeah makes sense. Guide nice kids like Triley?'
He stares up at him, trying to look cute and kinda failing
You guys are awesome and mean so much to me. And mean so much to each other.
"Of course! But it's the bad kids who need the most guiding, really."

"Yes, well, Jace needs a stern talking to. Perhaps a little more than that, given repeat offences. I'll decide when he gets here."

'See? Triley smart!'
He takes out his pet rat, Hiro. 'Thank you Brock. Hiro and me good friends now'

'Hey there, big guy!' Triley says to the rat
'I'm Hiro' Hiro says. 'This is Triley, he won't cause any trouble'
