Pepe the Horseman Seems to be more evidence in favour of him wanting out.
His celebrations consisted of his thumb in his mouth and then a salute while sliding on his knees.
From this we can infer, in the first instance, that he recognises he is a baby who will consequently throw tantrums and the salute is synonymous with military and more cringeworthly with pilots, therefore we can deduce that it implies he was begging (on his knees) to go somewhere abroad.
The writing has been on the wall, it's all rather obvious guy. Jeez.
