sulks
Pouts with silence
Sulks is a state of silent, resentful withdrawal—what you're in when you retreat into brooding displeasure: She's been in the sulks all morning.
The phrase the sulks treats this moody silence as a condition one falls into, often childishly, after feeling slighted or not getting one's way.
