===Helping in Bridge Four===
After a few weeks, thanks to the food and antiseptic [[Kaladin]] was able to get, Hobber limped out of the barrack and joined the rest of [[Bridge Four]] for their first pot of stew.{{book ref|sa1|27}} Before long, Hobber could walk without his crutch and it wouldn’t be long before he could start running bridges again. In the meantime, [[Lopen]] recruited him, along with [[Dabbid]], to help carry water for the rest of Bridge Four.{{book ref|sa1|32}}
===Bridge Four tattoos===

When [[Bridge Four]] decided to get tattoos, Hobber was the first one to jump at the chance as he was the very first one to believe in [[Kaladin]]. Even during the painful process, Hobber kept a grin on his face. As the tattooist finished, Hobber asked what it meant. Sigzil answered that it meant “freedom.” Hobber said that it was good, but not good enough. He wanted “Bridge Four” added to it, because Bridge Four was what freed him. While Kaladin didn’t understand it, he drew the glyphs anyways so they could be added to Hobber’s tattoo. Once Hobber was finished, the others requested the same. Hobber, along with the rest of Bridge Four, objected when the tattooist said she couldn’t tattoo [[Shen]]/[[Rlain]] because he was property. The tattooist gave in and before long, all of Bridge Four, with the exception of Kaladin whose ink wouldn’t take, had the matching “Bridge Four” tattoo.{{book ref|sa2|2}}
===Encountering the Assassin in White===
[[Kaladin]], after receiving warning from [[Syl]] that darkness was in the palace, assigned Hobber and [[Beld]] to an advance squad in charge of scouting a way out of the building. The two men scouted ahead, but they ran into [[Szeth]]. Szeth cut down Hobber, leaving his legs darkened and grey, dead. He then stabbed Beld through, killing him. After fighting Szeth, Kaladin found Hobber weeping. He apologized to Kaladin and explained what happened. Kaladin tried to reassure him, but Hobber told him he couldn’t feel his legs, that he was useless. Kaladin objected firmly and told him it would always be Bridge Four. Kaladin offered that they could have [[Rock]] teach him how to cook. Hobber countered that he was an awful cook, but Kaladin just told him he’d fit in with most military cooks. Kaladin then tried to lift Hobber, but his body object. He sucked in [[Stormlight]] and then carried Hobber back towards the others.{{book ref|sa2|33}}
