=== Singing Stone ===
When Venli went to speak with [[Rlain]], Timbre felt anxious that there was a Voidspren hiding in a [[cremling]] nearby. After Venli shooed it away, she approached Rlain. Venli was overwhelmed with emotions upon seeing another [[listener]], and Timbre joined in when she began humming the Rhythm of the Lost. Timbre wanted Venli to show Rlain that she was a Radiant, but she locked up again and failed to do so. After the visit, Venli sought to free Rlain into her service; as she attempted to stand her ground before Raboniel, Timbre attuned Conceit because Venli was wavering in the face of Raboniel humming Derision. The attempt hurt Timbre, as Conceit was a new rhythm, one of Odium. She communicated with Venli about freedom, and after they returned to Venli's rooms, Venli spoke the words of what she knew would be her next [[Order of Willshapers#The Second Ideal|Ideal]]. Timbre was confused as to why the words were not accepted, but Venli knew she had been hypocritical in speaking them, considering her true motives and considering that she had stood by while they took [[Lift]] away in a cage.{{book ref|sa4|60}}
One day, Venli discussed with Timbre how she missed the old, carefree days of learning songs from her mother. Timbre tried to console her over her mother's death, but Venli felt she was truly to blame for the group of escapees being forced to flee into the chasms on the day the [[everstorm]] arrived to flood the canyons. As Venli worked through her thoughts regarding who she had been and how she had changed, Timbre reminded her that she had helped Venli resist Odium. They decided to take advantage of a rare free day to practice her powers with [[Cohesion]].{{book ref|sa4|67}}
After checking to make sure they were not being watched, Venli infused herself with Stormlight. Timbre was uncertain how to proceed and was not fully convinced it would work anyway, with the tower's defenses activated. Instead, Venli decided to try with Voidlight. This time, Venli managed to speak with the stones, and Timbre gleefully resonated with the tone they sang. When they ran out of Voidlight, Timbre was excited to see three other spren just like her approaching. She explained to Venli that her friends were like squires to her, and these other [[lightspren]] wanted to bond with them. Venli was concerned for them and ordered Timbre to tell them to leave until they could escape Urithiru.{{book ref|sa4|67}}
=== Shaping Stone ===
Timbre wanted to comfort Venli as she and Rlain smuggled the humans in the Radiant infirmary the surviving maps of the tower, telling her that these times necessitated dangerous choices. She sympathized with Venli as she once again thought about her past by telling her that [[Ulim]] had manipulated her. As much as Venli respected Timbre's wisdom, however, she felt that the spren was wrong. After unpacking the maps, Timbre reminded Venli that she needed to practice with her powers again before they attempted to escape Urithiru. She pulsed inside of Venli as [[Lirin]] discovered that the humans of Urithiru had begun painting ''shash'' [[glyph]]s on their foreheads; the message of hope resonated with her.{{book ref|sa4|74}}

Encouraged by Timbre, Venli practiced her powers again and successfully attuned a combination of [[Cultivation]]'s tone and Odium's tone; in front of her, a miniature sculpture of the ancient listeners heading to the unknown formed. Later in the day, they walked in on a fight in the infirmary when Lirin refused to go to Kaladin to heal him. As they discussed the hopelessness of Kaladin's wound, Timbre grew increasingly more excited until Venli proposed a plan to them: break Lift, who had healing abilities as an [[Edgedancer]], out of her prison cell.{{book ref|sa4|83}}
Timbre was annoyed that Venli wanted to accomplish the rescue without revealing her Radiant abilities, instead pretending to have acquired a [[Shardblade]]. As Venli approached the back of the cell, Timbre encouraged her. The spren pulsed to the Rhythm of Hope, feeding the rhythm into the rock and aiding Venli's displacement of the rock. As Venli worked to make a hole large enough for Lift, Timbre observed that her efforts were rough and crude, pulsing to Consolation. As soon as Lift was free, however, Timbre happily switched and attuned Hope. Venli asked if she could say the words of her Second Ideal yet, now that Lift was free, but Timbre replied that it wasn't the right time; Venli would know when it was right.{{book ref|sa4|83}}
