[if there's anyone who can make morning seem like noon it's Tezuka, who's out before anyone's up and back before anyone's out. with that in mind, it's no surprise he's done a bit of a "morning routine" before eight (a jog around the city, one half for sight-seeing, one half for actual exercise).
of course, it doesn't quite show that he's done anything, really. He's returning with a slow walk, mostly for the Absol beside him--she's somewhat fatigued, but she's keeping up well enough.
like most things, it's only by chance that tezuka catches fuji right when he's off, and so tezuka stops. how much can he pack into one nod? let's find out.
a small nod of good morning/fuji/hello. his absol sits down.]
[he reads all three, and more. he brightens visibly in the morning light upon recognizing the figure returning down the path -- brightening, because it's Tezuka, it's something he's missed, and because this early in the morning, there's no one else to bear witness.
he notes the fatigue of the Absol as he approaches, having been in Johto long enough to read pokemon almost as well as he reads people. he doesn't bother waving, doesn't bother with a verbal affirmation of the morning, because greetings have never the source of language between them.]
[a glance. fuji's quick to catch on to the situation. of course, something which is of little surprise. there's another nod here--one of confirmation, not greeting, which really looks exactly the same as the other one save for the fact that it's slightly shallower. does that mean anything to anyone other than fuji?
probably not.]
Somewhat. [though it was more for his absol, really--he was just supervising. as usual.]
[mirth, amusement. the somewhat implies that it wasn't so much for his own benefit as it was for the pokemon's. it's something to remark upon, and since Fuji is Fuji, he certainly remarks up on it.]

It must've been a good workout.
