look away from the other
Little Penguins behave in other interesting ways, too. When two penguins are angry with each other, they will stare at each other. When one penguin is angry and the other one is not, the one who is not angry will look away from the other and walk away with its head and body held very low.
For a start, does "stare at" in the above amount to "gaze at?"
Second, I'm not so sure of the meaning of "look away from." Does it mean "turn its eyes/head and not to look at?"
Last, why is it "very low" instead of "very lowly" since we need an adverb to modify "held?" Thanks.
