落ち着いた煉瓦色の髪と整った目鼻立ちは、いかにも有能そうな印象を漂わせて乾り、実際にオルドバからの信任も厚い。

I'm not sure about the second clause in this sentence. I can guess that it's something along the lines that she's giving the impression of being capable but the last two words are throwing me off.

Thanks in advance. :)

I'd say that 漂わせて in this case is the way her impression is put out there, and 乾る means to dry, or to end.
Her brick-coloured hair and neat features gave off the impression that she was quite capable, and in truth, she was also deeply trusted by Ordova.
Is just how I'd translate it as. Specifically, her impression's hanging in the air before it dries up or crystallizes or something, but it's a little obscure to put into English.
Even eternity can be encased in ice.
