[ The glass shakes and clatters against the thud of his palm — and against her back, in turn. Jostled by the impact, Rey nearly gets a crick in her neck from how quickly it turns in his direction, bracing herself for the worst. What she finds instead is the flat length of his hand, a kinder sight than his body collapsing out from under him. She releases a breath in a burst of relief, but the urgency to her movements doesn't disappear as she yanks open the shower door without warning.

The abrupt nature of it causes her — or him; she isn't certain which of them moves forward first — to lurch into him, and from there it's a slip and slide of her hands as she tries to hook her fingers into his shoulders. Eventually, she gets her arm to encircle his waist, encouraging him to lean into her side in order to brace himself.
In any other context, this would be... a confusing time for her to be pressed into a naked man. In this context, specifically, it's blotted out by her concern; his nudity doesn't register to her, grunting in exertion as his weight sinks her down with each step into the threshold of his quarters, until she can deposit him onto the nearest chair. A lifetime of dragging about salvaged equipment twice her weight has finally come in handy for something other than scavenging. ]
