[ He tries to shrug it off, but an aside glance does perhaps clue Kim into the fact that there are some worries that Cloud has, being here. Whatever those worries are, though, it's clear he doesn't plan on elaborating in detail. ]
You don't exactly get to say what's fair in life when you're a mercenary - doubly so if you're one that isn't on Shinra's payroll. There's not a lot of gain to be had bemoaning it - so it's better to have the skill to handle it.
[ It's a genuine remark, even if Kim might note there's something altogether performative about it - it's a very roundabout way to say he agrees with Kim, that it is unfair. At the same time, a lot of effort is put into making sure he doesn't feel like he gets to complain. Either out of a desire to be seen as reliable, or perhaps something else. ]
