Bramble & Burl smells of pine and leather; jars of pickles line the windowsill and a sleepy cat named Knot naps on whatever parcel Hilda opens. Hilda talks with a constant, comforting hum and slips in an extra ration or a whispered tip to regulars. She keeps most magic items locked in a small chest behind the counter and’ll haggle on mundane wares if you trade a good story or useful odd item. Hilda once swore she could tell the weight of a bag by the way it swings; she’ll 'check' suspicious coins by tapping them with a spoon and squinting, much to the amusement of customers.
