Timido would be the Italian word for "Timid" which has the same basic meaning as "shyly" while sounding quite a bit more pretentious.
haha sounds PERFECT! lol I did want pretentious Italian terms if possible :-)

Timid is exactly what I meant. I asked a harp player and they were like:
"Well 'shyly' is a word."
And I was like "Yeah, but you know what I mean!"
and she was "Like, In a shy manner?"
Me: "YES IN A SHY MANNER! What else would it mean?"
Her: "Ummm... No, I can't think of anything."
Me: "Omg, why couldn't you have just said that 5 minutes ago?!"

lol *sigh*

Anyway I did a search for Timid and found "Pauroso" which means "timidly, fearfully". Sounds perfect :-)
