[He takes it back, holding it in his hands and nodding in agreement. Yeah, he was pretty sure he did.]
I draw better than a lot of people. I make better statues too. And dioramas, probably, though a lot of people don't like them. Oh, and mosaics! And wood carvings...probably ice carvings too but I haven't done any of those. People usually use chainsaws for those, but I can't even lift a chainsaw on my own.
[Which is probably for the best.........
He gently tucks his sketchbook away, moving to put his backpack back on.]
[Jataro has tried to lift a chainsaw on his own, hasn't he?
Unless things in his life start taking a turn for the better (and Marco desperately hopes they do), the day when Jataro finally accomplishes that will be one to fear.]
O-Oh, of course. It's your sketchbook and it's absolutely lovely. I couldn't... not be careful.
[He 100% has tried and failed before. And he will definitely try again in the future. Chainsaws look fun!]
Well...you say that, but adults usually don't care about kids stuff. They think we don't care about it, really, unless it's a toy, and then if the toy gets ruined they can just replace it and that makes it all better.
[Despite insinuating that he figured Marco would be the same, he still means it in an appreciative manner.]
But you listened and you were really careful. So...
Well, that's mean. [Marco gives him a nervous, cautious smile.] Adults can get pretty angry when kids accidentally break their stuff, so why wouldn't they get that it works the other way around too? It's pretty unfair...
[He trails off.
It is unfair that someone like Jataro had to grow up the way he did - and, Marco is sure, the same goes for Nagisa. These poor, poor children...]

Thank you for being careful with it Marco-san.
