grizzled mercenaries are always being like "I'm sick and tired of being a pawn in someone elses game" like their job isn't literally rent-a-pawn
"I hate being a pawn in someone elses game" yeah sure thing grandpa, I'll give you $50 if you move to D4
That is just the mercenary equivalent of feeling "if I have to send one more email I am going to explode" while doing the email job you knowingly consented to doing and probably worked hard to get; it is probably the most relatable thing they could portray!
