English term

brooding

English to Portuguese Art/Literary Poetry & Literature
"Billy Jo wondered whether she should step back so she wouldn’t be in the middle of this pickup, knowing well that the blonde was working this tall, ruggedly attractive guy. Even she had shamelessly allowed herself to ogle him discreetly from behind her own shades. There was just something about the man who was leaning against the railing—pensive, quiet, ***brooding***. He would likely be first in line to get off the ferry when it finally docked, and she’d be second off this rattling bucket of steel."

Obrigado.

absorto


Como já tem "pensing" (pensativo) na frase, sugiro "absorto"

Ex.:

Antero debruçou-se na varanda ao lado da irmã, pensativo, absorto, um ar de quem tem pecado às costas...

deprimido

Como os dois adjetivos usados antes focaram na forma de pensar e agir (silencioso) do personagem, a conotação que eu daria seria a de "estar pra baixo", com ar pesado, negativo.
