The small fraction of a pause, a stillness in Rey's locked muscles, barely registers visually. But it's there, that flicker of incredulity that quickly slides into outright indignation and then, finally, determination.
The webbing doesn't draw her eye. She's never seen anything like it, but the mystery remains unimportant in the face of BB-8's panicked, protesting chirps. Rey moves to action, mistaking the stranger's dismissal as blind arrogance — an advantage, if she expects that Rey won't strike as she does now, brazen, swinging at the back of her head.
Rey doesn't know who, and what, she is — but it doesn't matter in the grand scheme. Whoever she works for — and it isn't this droid's master, as evidenced by his fit — knows what that droid holds, knows his significance; she won't, can't, allow it to fall into their hands. ]
