languidly
In sluggish fashion
Languidly means in a slow, relaxed manner suggesting a lack of energy or urgency.
The word carries connotations of dreamy ease or elegant lethargy rather than mere tiredness: She languidly stretched out on the sofa, He languidly waved his hand in dismissal.
The pace is unhurried, often deliberately so.
