Restively is how you do something when you are : in a bored, impatient, not-at-peace way. A child waiting too long may sit restively, shifting and sighing. A room of people may wait restively for news they do not like. The word is a little formal; in everyday talk people more often say restlessly or just describe the fidgeting. Same trap as : it is not about resting.
躁動地、不耐煩地
組成restive + -ly (turns the adjective into an adverb: “in that way”).
