|Teft '''did''' have hope. That was what he'd recovered, these years in Bridge Four.

}}
When [[Kaladin]] first asks Teft to help him with his plans to care for the injured members of [[Bridge Four]],{{book ref|sa1|21}} Teft's agreement leads him to help gather the other members to practice carrying a bridge on their time off and to help begin the tradition of having nightly stew.{{book ref|sa1|27}}{{book ref|sa1|30}} Later, Teft trains the other men of Bridge Four in fighting with spears.{{book ref|sa1|49}} Kaladin's efforts mold Bridge Four into a team of which Teft is proud to be a part, which he proves when he receives a Bridge Four tattoo on his forehead even though he doesn't have a slave mark there to cover up.{{book ref|sa2|2}} He later finds himself giving out duties and filling the role of commander at times when Kaladin is away.{{book ref|sa2|71}} Because of his natural fit for leadership positions, he also is put in charge of running potential recruits through drills after Bridge Four shifts roles within the army and seeks to recruit to the ranks of [[Windrunner]] [[squire]]s.{{book ref|sa3|46}} Perhaps because of Teft's experience at the head of Bridge Four and his feeling toward the group as a whole, he is doubly ashamed of his actions when he sells his bridgeman coat to further his [[firemoss]] addiction and it ends up indirectly enabling the theft of [[Jezrien]]'s [[honorblade]] and the death of [[Eth]].{{book ref|sa3|i|14}}{{book ref|sa3|115}} Ultimately, Teft feels that his time in Bridge Four has allowed him to have hope again, and he is able to face even his death at the hands of [[Moash]] with confidence and hope.{{book ref|sa4|104}}

}}
Aside from Rock, Teft is the first [[bridgeman]] [[Kaladin]] approaches to ask for support in his plans for [[Bridge Four]],.{{book ref|sa1|21}} and heHe is also the first to suspect Kaladin's nature as a [[Knight Radiant]], a suspicion that pays off bywhen he savingsaves Kaladin's life.{{book ref|sa1|38}} Kaladin in turn suspects that Teft has been a soldier and tricks him into revealing it in the chasms;{{book ref|sa1|49}} later, Teft easily falls into the role of Kaladin's sergeant as he begins turning the bridgemen into soldiers.{{book ref|sa2|2}}{{book ref|sa3|46}} Kaladin is concerned about Teft when he begins disappearing on [[firemoss]] binges, but he respects Teft's privacy enough to lay off the issue until it becomes a serious problem.{{book ref|sa2|41}}{{book ref|sa3|41}} Both men take Teft's position as Kaladin's sergeant seriously, meaning that Kaladin listens to Teft's advice at times when he would rather not,{{book ref|sa4|9}} and Teft knows to balance not letting Kaladin go into situations totally alone with not correcting him sometimes when he is wrong.{{book ref|sa4|23}}{{book ref|sa4|91}} Teft feels a sense of proprietary pride when he sees Kaladin still fighting after all that has dragged him down.{{book ref|sa4|103}}
