Forklaring
In this sentence, the preposition "in" is used to indicate the location where the action is taking place. "Roamed" is the appropriate verb choice here because it suggests that the eyes were moving around or wandering casually, which fits the context of sitting quietly and looking around the room without a specific focus.
