[So that tracks to what he'd heard Roy say while they were down below, about asking her to "stay up top". It seems unlikely she isn't the person he was talking about at that time.
He's distracted from that train of thought by her remark on bandaging, though, and he hums slightly in apparent confusion as he raises one of his arms to look more closely at it, as if he hadn't noticed the extent of the injuries. He's aching and exhausted enough in general that pinpointing specific marks hasn't really been a main concern to him.] Mmm, I suppose...I didn't really come here for that, though...
[One of his hands fidgets a bit with his sleeve as he considers how to be at least somewhat gentle in dropping deeply unpleasant news. Usually he'd be plenty happy to do something nicer first and drop bad news later, but that doesn't seem right with this specific kind.] You're friends with that Roy Mustang guy, right? Have you talked to anyone else in the group he went down with...?
["Friends" is a guess, but he doubts he would've jumped so soon to her name in a situation like that, or been seeing or hearing her, if she wasn't somehow important to him. In any case, he'll make sure someone else hasn't told her what went on down there first.]
