Emotionless
"No, it doesn't," replied Michael, emotionless.
So, "emotionlessly" isn't even a word, so I can't use that, which is fine with me, I guess, but my question is, can the adjective there mean that both Michael and the way he said it are emotionless, or just that Michael is emotionless, but not necessarily speaking that way?
And would there be any difference if "Michael" came before "replied" rather than after it?
Thanks.
