i'm thinking more about it, and bronwyn doesn't typically scope out her own " clients. " since meeting helena, the dryad acts as a middleman for any possible deals, which is why she runs an inn, a medical practice, etc. in whatever town they settle in. people love to talk in such places, and they love to talk to helena. while a beauty, she is far less intimidating than bronwyn tends to be. it's one part their differing personalities and one part bronwyn's predatory aura.

it isn't just a feeling brought on by her behavior and demeanor -- it's something she exudes as a valravn. those who spend a length of time around her eventually become used to it and don't notice it much, but the raven does give off a feeling of danger to all those who approach her. meeting her will feel more like you're meeting a hungry lion rather than a normal woman. this is yet another reason she spends time in town rather than remaining at home; the locals are less likely to figure out what she is if they get used to her aura.

still, if one never becomes close with bronwyn, it'll be hard to shake the feeling that something is slightly off about her.
