Some clarification on ~いたりもする and ~いそうな


I'm currently reading 灰と幻想のグリムガル (Hai to Gensou no Grimgar) and currently
having trouble with these sentences:

## 1) いたりもする

> 石の前に花が供えられて **いたりもする** 。

Which I read it as: _Flowers where offered in front of **(some of)** the
stones._ (For reference there are a lot of gravestones around)

I've read about the use of `~たりする` from Tae Kim but I dont understand it in
this sentence in regards to what the `い` and `も` are doing to the sentence.

**Question:** Have I parsed this wrong or have I missed something basic?

  

## 2) いそうな

> やたらと身体が大きくて見るからにおっとりして **いそうな** 男が低く唸った。

The English novel adaption of this is: _An excessively large, but seemingly
quiet, man let out a low groan._

I understand how it comes about this result, but the **`いそうな`** part kinda
gets me a little. I know how `そう` works in general but the use of `い` just
before slightly confuses me.

**Question:** Once again wondering if I have missed something here?

Many Thanks,

Archie

Correct. And if there is one stone, "sometimes there are flowers in front of
~"

> いそうな

as if there is (edit: this いそうな means just "looking like" with the な. Is this
いそう the reason why it's translated as "seemingly quiet"?) い is a 連用形 of いる

> 大きくて見るからに

大きくて big and 見るからに obviously, apparently (I wonder whether "seemingly" is a
correct translation.)
