[The last time she saw him, he was asleep. He was badly inured from trying to fight off Kylo Ren. The med droids told her that he was resting, that he needed time to heal. But time was a precious thing. In the time she had been here, she didn't know if things had moved ahead. If Finn had gotten better, or if the First Order had found the Resistance's current location. If something else happened to him.
She had said her goodbye to him as he slept. A promise to return and a brief kiss to his forehead.
Now, he was only a few feet away from her. He was well within her reach, and she had never been so elated, so happy to see her friend--her best friend here. It was the same feeling when he found her on Starkiller base. That someone was willing to come back for her, that she mattered enough to go back to.
Hopefully people will understand that neither of them meant to run through the crowd, or cause people to bump or drop things.]
Finn!
[Rey would accept the hug, because damnit, she's moving to hug him too. Her arms come around him, holding him tightly. Her heart pounding hard in her chest.]
You're here...you're here. [She finds herself repeating the words softly, like she's trying to convince herself this was entirely real. Not a dream. Not an illusion.]
