[Recovering from his injuries had taken time, time that Finn would have preferred to spend conscious, helping his new friends with fighting the good fight. Instead, he had spent it in a hospital bed, hooked up to machines that helped knit his body back together, healing from the lightsaber wounds.
When his eyes finally opened, the first word out of his mouth was her name. Rey. Poe had been the one to tell him that she was gone, off looking for Luke, Chewie there to keep her safe. His instinct was to run- not away from the fight this time, but to find her, to make sure she was safe, that the bastard didn't track her down and finish what they had started. But he wasn't strong enough to go, and one look from the General told him that she wasn't going to let him out of her sight just yet.
In the days following, he did his best to help out wherever he could. He was still weak, prone to tired spells, easily winded. But he was also a soldier- or had been trained to be one. He could push through that pain if he needed to, and right now, he needed to distract himself from his worry. Physical labor is good for that, puts the body to work and lets the mind shut off- or that's the idea, at least.]
apparently corran would be a good option?? but whoever strikes your fancy is fine with me
