When Rey hears the oddly familiar sound of a body hitting the earth and a scream, she tries her best to ignore it. They're in uncharted territory, and that noise could have literally been a monster falling out of its nest or something. Who knows what kind of creatures lurk on this planet? She's always been cautious, especially now that she can't grasp the Force. The only way she could find out what's down there is if she leaned over the edge of the crevice and looked--a sure-fire way to get killed on Jakku. So she goes about her business, picking up shreds of the Moira and inspecting them. Some get tossed (one or two down the crevice itself, just in case), and a few go into her already bulging saddlebag.
And then she hears the very distinct sound of metal gouging into rock and it makes her pause. Alright, she doesn't think any creature alive has metal parts. Which means... it's probably a person of some kind. This makes totally ignoring it no longer a possibility.
Cautiously, she edges towards the dip in the earth, making sure to stay out of the direct path of whatever's on its way up. Years of listening to the creaks and groans of dilapidated ships have given her a keen ear, and she takes full advantage of that skill now. When a man emerges from the earth, bloodied and with some kind of metal blades sticking out of his hands, she can't help but be shocked. She's seen a lot of people come and go, not only on the Moira, but Jakku as well, and nobody as had quite this assortment of characteristics going for them.
She doesn't answer immediately, instead slowly circling so she's not completely in his blind spot, stepping heavily and even scraping her feet on the ground so he knows she's there. Surprising someone by suddenly speaking when they can't see you is never a good idea, even if she's pretty sure he can't exactly get up and attack her right now. He doesn't look as if he's about to drop dead, but he certainly isn't moving any time soon.
Her answer is matter-of-fact and holds more than a touch of concern. "Somewhere without a good enough doctor. Where the frack did you come from?"
