Handsome – The standard compliment for a good-looking man.
Good-looking
Attractive
Hot (informal/slang)
So instead of “you are a beauty” (which is for women), people would say:
“You are a handsome man.” or “You are very good-looking.”

The adjacent block is kind of a city in its own right. That’s Glupov, the headquarters of the Fatui.
Inside, there’s a munitions factory known as the “Armory Palace” producing a constant supply of all kinds of equipment for the Fatui. A lot of important research happens there, too.
Yeah, I dunno. Not my area of expertise. Still, I wouldn’t say the absence of alchemy makes life here any less convenient.

Not exactly, it’s just… I’m used to treating human patients. Fae tend to be far more resilient than even the healthiest and most long-lived of humans.

And, as obnoxious as it may be to show up uninvited at Glupov, I couldn’t help but take pity on the poor soul who was waiting outside in vain. So, I had no choice but to abandon my freshly brewed, piping-hot tea and come to see this
mystery guest for myself..
Hmph. Well, I felt our time working together in Nod-Krai warranted some courtesy. I couldn’t exactly let you freeze to death out here in the wind.
