Vusgaar certainly kept to himself during watch; but, far too frequently at the time, though he would not admit it, his eyes had wandered over to the Shifter's camp to observe them. In the morning, Vusgaar did not even bother with any of the extenous parts of his routine, seeming agitated -- or at least, as agitated as any Edgewalker can be without a clear need for reeducation. He needed to keep in motion, and it showed in absent-minded pacing until others were ready to go.

Ani would spend much too much time cleaning and sharpening all the blades on her person during her watch that she'd have fallen asleep later than expected. The raven haired 'human' would wake with a startled grunt when Vusgaar would pace by her. She'd scramble to her feet, bowing a head to him before wiping some drool from her mouth. With a sheepish smile she'd start whistling nonchalantly and side steps away.
The bard would try to stealth over to try following Demetrios' morning exercises to try her hand at a physical warmup since she was sure busting out her bagpipes or flute would not be appropriate at this time.

You get your things together, and assemble into your slightly awkward full party. After a few hours of following the tracks, Tel-Kin says something softly to Lirika, who turns to the Edgewalkers. "We will catch up to them within fifteen minutes or so. If you have any preparations to make, now is the time."
After giving the suggestion a few moments of thought, Vusgaar slowly shook his head. "This one needs no such preparations. None at least that won't slow us down, or expose us if any part of future plans involves an ambush." He then looks to the remainder of his companions with an expectant look. "Thus far, we have tended to perform our best keeping things simple."

You keep going, and soon only one hill separates you from the party of Kalaak. Looking, you can see five massive humans, covered in scars and with sharpened bones or small blades thrust right through their skin. They each carry a spiked club, heedless of how the blades occasionally cut into them. A sixth Kalaak wears heavier scale armor, and has a longsword across his back rather than a club. His face is covered in elaborate tattoos, and his scars follow a pattern, twisting into a sigil that feels wrong to you. One of the other barbarians is kneeling before him, a fresh cut along his arm dripping blood. The Kalaak with the longsword is collecting the blood in a bowl, saying something in an unfamiliar language with the intonation of a prayer.
The shifters speak softly to one another, then Lirika says to you quietly, "We will go around to the other side of them so we can attack on two sides. Anybody who wants to join us, feel free." She gives a sharp-toothed smile, clearly not expecting any of you to take her up on the offer, and the five shifters begin loping quietly to the other side of the Kalaak group.
An alien feeling creeps it way up to the surface, compelling Vusgaar to smile, as much as it did answering with movement to follow. But though the corner of his lips twitch, and at least one step forward is taken, the Shifter froze after, and looked down, seeming almost surprised for a moment. Looking up afterwards, he very pointedly steps back and crosses his arms. "We have our way. You have own. Best we not trip each other up any more than we might as is in this joint operation... Hunt."He states frankly enough, but still looked to the others for a consensus.
If Jhalaar for whatever reason volunteers to join the pack, Vusgaar would stare suspiciously, then look to Khern with a raised brow.

Ani would look to Talaak. He was the one he trusted the most here. And seeing as she keeps failing to blend in, she does not have confidence in reading Lirika and her group. She'd follow Talaak.
The shifters vanish into the terrain as they race off.
A few minutes later, a cry sounds from the shifters' location. "NO TOMORROW!" The shifters charge into the camp. Three of them wield spears, while Lirika leads them with her two bone-handled shortswords. At the back is Tel-Kin with her bow.

Vusgaar Initiative: 15!
The moment the cry goes out Vusgaar's skin and facial feature start to distort of an oncoming shift. There would be no answering cry from the shifter. It wasn't the way of Reidran's. But, in the next few moments, he would be sure to let the cries a kalaak become answer enough.
