saunters
Moves without hurry
Saunters is the third-person singular of saunter, meaning to walk in a slow, relaxed, unhurried manner—often with an air of confidence or leisure.
The pace suggests someone with nowhere urgent to be: He saunters into the meeting fifteen minutes late, coffee in hand.
Unlike strolling, sauntering often carries a hint of swagger or studied casualness.
