phlegmatically
In unruffled manner
In a calm, unexcitable manner—showing little emotion or enthusiasm.
Someone who responds phlegmatically to crisis news barely reacts: He phlegmatically watched the stock market crash, then returned to his crossword.
The word suggests temperamental coolness rather than deliberate restraint.
