The travel though hyperspace at first was quiet, both padawans enjoying the spectacle of colors that clashed and intermingled, the ship rumbling softly during the travel. Vren didn't mind the silence at all as he enjoyed the break to just relax in the chair. Gwen lasted through the silence shorter then him however and broke it by recounting stories of her smuggling trips. By the time Jakku was in their line of sight, they had reached the story that had gotten her into smuggling in the first place.
Vren didn't interrupt while she rambled to him as he was actually interested in what she spoke of and would find his golden optics vividly paying attention to her. Her life had been much different and similar to his in ways and he found it interesting to compare the aspects of each other. For him, he had never left Eshan and spent most of the time in his city with his brother. The Echani hadn't been born into a house of nobility and that left him in position where he couldn't ask for much or travel. It pretty much made him and his brother find creative ways to fend for themselves but only themselves.
At the warning to keep what he heard to himself, Vren chuckled lightly, "I won't share." If she wanted it only between them, then it would remain that way until she changed her mind. His word meant everything to him and she would be able to tell from his tone he wasn't lying.
When the ship had finally exited from hyperspace, Gwen seeming more surprised then anything and he couldn't blame her given his lack of skill at piloting. Relief filled him as well to find they wouldn't be sucked out in the void that was space with hyperspace ripping the ship apart. Now, they just had to land the damn craft in one piece.
Listening to her instructions, Vren glanced to the screen as well to coordinate his landing, aligning the ship as they descended toward the planet. When the nose of the ship touched the atmosphere eventually, Zed groaned as it began to break through. Flames licked the edges of the viewing port before the whole ship was engulfed the further they went, the entire body shaking as multiple lights flashed and blinked on screens, warning them about the fluctuations. The shields were still holding but it still didn't translate to a smooth entry.
Vren kept his grip on the controls iron tight as he made sure their trajectory wasn't altered or the ship spun out of control. A few of machines fritzed out, smoking billowing up from screens as they became lifeless. After a few moments though of this rough experience, they finally broke through with the flames were replaced by trails of smoke and they could finally witness the vast deserts.
Thankfully, the landing vector was still on one of the screens and when they neared the ground, he tilted the ship upwards, the bottom half scraping along the rock for a few seconds before eventually the landing gears caught. The two would be flung forward and stopped by their seatbelts as the ship slid for a little bit before coming to a halt. When it did, Vren would be slammed back in his chair as he breathed heavily, smoke filling the cockpit from the overworked devices. "That wasn't too bad..." The Echani mumbled softly while sort of just staring at the console, seeing if it would explode.
When nothing happened, he finally lifted his gaze to the viewport and the barren landscape that surrounded the ship, "This is it?"
