And that is incredibly familiar, but this time instead of being a comfort it just makes her feel cold all over. It's an action straight from Jakku, two scavengers who know they have something good and it's time to decide if you're going to die fighting to keep it or cut your losses and try to find something else far, far away from the person you've just met.
Everything she's done the last few weeks has been to stay alive, so her choice is pretty much made for her. And she fought, and she thought she found a new home, but she'll never leave Jakku after all.
"Rey," she answers evenly, and she wonders if he sees in her what she sees in him. Someone that defaults to the desperate drag out fight to survive, not the fight to stay amenable in cramped places like this ship. "Who are you?"
