[ It only takes that shout to get him from pushing his way through the crowd to running in her direction full-tilt. He's had one absolute constant fear, one constant concern since he first woke up, and there was really only ever one thing that could alleviate it.
Seeing for himself that she's okay.
There was no time on Starkiller once he started fighting Kylo Ren. He never got the chance to check on her again, to try to get her back to the ship, and thinking that he might be here recovering while she was possibly gone-- out of every potential problem and every potential outcome, that's been the hardest one to try to carry. Seeing Rey himself is the only way to know beyond a shadow of any doubt, the only way to wipe that fear completely off the map.
The closer he gets to her, the broader his smile stretches, because she's okay, she looks okay and she's here. And at least for the moment, it's the best possible outcome to have her here. ]
Rey--
[ Honestly, Finn's going in for the hug without any preamble whatsoever on this one. He throws his arms open like it's his job. ]
