blandly
In unremarkable fashion
Blandly describes doing something in a mild, unremarkable way—without strong emotion, flavor, or distinction.
Someone who responds blandly shows no particular feeling: She blandly agreed to whatever they suggested.
The word often implies a lack of engagement or deliberate neutrality that borders on evasiveness.
