He gently, carefully places the chocolate coin between Luna's teeth with all the care of a zoologist interacting with a wild animal. "Well, that would require some trauma-dumping. Would you two be okay with that?" The Architect notices a somewhat unsettling fact: Winston is doing the same kind of observation, but it's so natural to him that if she weren't a veritable demon as well, she would not have noticed. He's not being trusting. He's being cocky. His eyes are not that of a predator, but of a human who is in his lane. A master, a caretaker, a guiding hand. Such a terrible force hidden under that smile. His barrier is present, but it's so small that it's internal, build up by centuries of sacrifices. A cut would only go so deep on him, but he would still bleed greatly.
This is a monster, but not by nature as one would think of a dhampir. This is pure humanity, pure pain and fear and smarmy overconfidence given shape. His respect for the two has nothing to do with his power or theirs, but instead with the idea that he could connect with them. And for a moment, The Architect does. And he allows her to see what's there, something Luna can't see.
He doesn't look directly at The Architect, but his soft expression makes it clear. He's said 'this is who I am,' and now he's asking, cautiously, 'am I okay?'
The Architect is silent for a little while as they come to this realization, not quite seeming unsettled but rather curious and the faintest bit delighted. He can almost feel her eyes looking at him from behind her mask- not with a trace of hostility, but as if to answer his question with an assuring 'yes, you're okay'. "I'm comfortable with it if you are. Luna might not understand- they're quite young."
Luna carefully takes the coin as it vanishes into their maw, their silver eyes widening a bit at the surprising sweetness of the candy. They chirp happily in gratitude, almost like birdsong- while they're more like an animal in mannerism and behavior, he can see a deliberate quality to their sounds and movements that suggests a careful intellect. The nightmare child returns to their meal, still singing as they tear into the boar again.
"Thank you." A multi-purpose statement here. "See, I never had a family. My father was a vampire lord, and my mother was a human. They loved each other, but I was a mistake on a fundamental level. They let me roam the castle on my own, and shooed me off whenever they saw me. Even the slaves were fed and told they had a purpose. I was forcefully ignored at every turn. When my mother died, I felt nothing. When my father died, I thought it would be the same. But a lot changes when you're holding the stake." He chuckles.
*gtg!*

Lord Gateau walks out of the Golden Dragon Inn that he recently had built, arterial spray on his front and sleeves. People are panicking in the restaurant behind him, but he seems unbothered. The building manager is lying on the counter, a washcloth pinned to the back to his head with a kitchen knife. Written in his blood are the words 'A BUSINESS IS A FAMILY.'

*N O*
a sudden, tiny streak of light falls from the heavens in an instant, whizzing through the doors of the Inn, circling around the ceiling, before whizzing back outside and circling around Lord Gateau for a second or two. Then, suddenly, it embeds itself multiple feet underground, about ten feet away from Gateau, and the earth in that spot starts to rumble and churn. Rising from the earth is a middle aged woman of small stature, possibly a halfling, her head popping out of the ground, then her arms. She wears a white headband shaped to resemble a heart, and her hair is cut into a raven black Bob. Her pale skin amplifies the intensity of her pink blush, and her lips are a dark navy blue, with sparkling lipstick. She wears eyeshadow in a matching color. She bats her eyes, looking up at Gateau as she pulls the rest of herself out of the ground. She stands up, revealing that she is barely over four feet tall. She wears a puffy gray dress with frills, sleeves, and multiple layers, with black trims and flourishes of white embroidery and designs. She smiles, wiping copious amounts of dirt off her dress (which does not at all help) and looking up to Gateau. “Boy, you made a mess out of that manager in there, didn’t ya?” She says in a shrill voice, in a sing-song manner. She looks at her surroundings, grinning. “Gave those patrons of his quite a fright. Think one of ‘em wished me here.”

"He abused his employees and repeatedly refused corrections, even when mandated by his contract. I can't stand it when people ignore contracts. I needed to make an example out of him."
He frowns. "I used to really enjoy causing mass panic, hurting people and the like. It's not like that anymore. Now I feel more regretful than anything."
she pouts. “Ah, shucks. Well, if you feel regretful, I’d offer to bring him back from the grave-… can’t do that though. Least I could do is make everyone forget this happened. How’s about that?” She shakes her head, frowning. “Haven’t even made introductions- Edith Perte, Fairy Godmother, at your service.” She curtsies, grinning again as she stands up straight.
