I think it is more of at state of mind. Maybe disconnected is a better term. Dark to their antics. Dark in a mysterious way.
Silence with a grin, in a kind way. Not really giving them anything else unless they respond in a positive curious way. Just being the a silent observer who is not around at their beckon call, but when you have to interact it leaves their hamster wheel upstairs just a spinning. Trying to guess why you are so quiet, confident, cool and content. What has he been doing? Offering just enough to leave them wondering or wanting more.
