He nods, continuing to cry.
“I am not stealing it. That’d be mean.”
“What is she saying?” Drakor asked. “Take your time.”

Drakor nodded. “That is reasonable. I believe she-” he pointed at Canary- “-is trying to use magic to fix it. We would not have much use for only part of a cart, but your concern is warra- er, makes sense.”
He frowned. “Did you get all of that? Let me know if I should repeat anything.”
It seems like the boy is translating it mostly accurately, and (considering that you could easily rob them if you wanted to!) she does seem to be genuinely concerned about that possibility (although less about just the linchpin, more about the fabric). But thinking about the earlier part of the conversation, it seems like she was definitely also trying to communicate to him that she’s annoyed about him not managing to stop crying for long enough to give a useful explanation.

Drakor shrugged. “I do not know the nature of her spells. But I’ve seen her magically clean things, so I would think that fixing a wheel is not that different.”
(It totally is, but he views magic as, well, magic)
This descriptor miffs her a little bit.
Moreso the fact that his first description of her spells was ‘she cleans things’ versus ‘she enchants coins into [bullets]’.
