"A great Jaggie?" Leigh mused to himself. The idea seemed a bit reckless, but there were two of them after all, and if things got bad they could always leg it. Hearing Ren introduce himself put Leigh at ease a little, he was going to start calling Ren [i]'Guy'[/i], Leigh returned Ren's handshake firmly before moving on.

"Naah, take them. I stocked up on med supplies before I left." Leigh stated. Picking some of the remaining items for himself from the chest, Leigh stretched his legs and arms as Ren pointed in the direction of their destination. Leigh eyed Ren cautiously, he wasn't yet aware of his new partners capabilities, but the reverse was true too.

Marching through the open fields Leigh found himself checking his map often, the Ancestral Steppe was more amazing and vibrant than he had first thought. The duo had reached the field marked '2' on their map when they were encountered by some Melynx, thinking them to be simple Felyne Leigh excitedly waved to the creatures, hoping to get some clues as to the Jaggies recent happenings.

Leigh's response was a swift charge as the Melynx rushed at the Hunter, two of them went for Leigh while a third charged after Ren. Unprepared for the attack, Leigh took a heavy hit from a Melynx, knocking the young hunter onto his butt. "What the... THAT BASTARD STOLE MY POTIONS!" Leigh shouted in anger as he picked himself up. Leigh drew his mighty Lance with two hands as the other Melynx charged him. Swinging his mighty iron spike horizontally, Leigh slammed the on coming Melynx, sending the creature whimpering off to his right. Drawing his shield, Leigh took his charging stance and raced after the fleeing Melynx that had stolen his potions.
