As the oldest in the village, there is a slight chance that elder Burke might have one of those so-called elderly knowledge that the youths would not know about.
Mikeal cannot pass up on the opportunity to tap into said knowledge. If at all he truly does have.
One of the youths that were present was about to go and carry out Mikeal's request when he stopped to call.
"My lord".
He called Mikeal's attention to a youth who was running toward them as though he was being chased by a beast.
The youth got up to Mikeal and stopped running. He panted heavily in an attempt to make up for the lost breath he had expended on running.
"Is there a problem". Mikeal questioned with urgency.
The way he ran showcased that something was happening to warrant him running in such a manner. With the way he barged here, he no doubt came to request Mikeal's attention.
