His hunger satiated, his thoughts fell to satiating his need for stimulation and entertainment. He stood in the kitchen a while and mulled over this. The dog padded through and gazed at him indolently.

2. The man who could be described as tall, indolent and timid stood at the cusp of the skateboard park, watching with wet eyes. He idly kicked an empty soda can and fastidiously avoided meeting anyone's gaze. He aimed to affect an aloof demeanour. But the kids skating past would evaluate him as being perturbed and effete.
