I understand that the delivery appears jarring but that's because A) cloud doesn't care if he's looked at like a bad person if he's doing the 'right' thing B) he needed to be unreasonable to encourage the older guy to look after himself.
Bare in mind this is the same Merc who risks his life to kill a "frog king" for some children for the exorbitant cost of 3 Gill in the same chapter.
He is making it so this older guy who "would risk his life to go to her grave" doesn't give up on being independent just because he needed someone's help once. Besides he doesn't want the graveyard key to go back to moggie he wants the old guy to have the key and pay his respects himself now that it is safe again.
