From then on out, Timbre would accompany Venli everywhere, carried around in Venli's [[sphere]] pouch and coming out only when there was no-one around to see her.{{book ref|sa3|i|7}} Though initially hostile, Venli continued to hide her from the Fused and eventually gave her her nickname. When the two were on the outskirts of [[Kholinar]], Timbre finally made it clear that she wanted to form a [[Nahel bond]] with Venli. Venli was hesitant, believing that she could not live up to the high standard set by [[Eshonai]]. It was around that time that Timbre began using the Rhythm of Peace to try and push down [[Odium]]'s influence; she also helped Venli hear the old [[Rhythm]]s again.{{book ref|sa3|i|11}}

As Venli assisted Raboniel one day, Raboniel asked her if she hated herself for bringing about the destruction of her people; Timbre warned her to lie, but Venli admitted that she did hate herself. Timbre tried to reassure her as she talked about what she had done, but Venli once again refused the comfort. At the end of their conversation, Raboniel gave Venli a map with a notation from a human scout who had observed a large group of Parshendi in the [[Shattered Plains]].{{book ref|sa4|92}} Rlain, looking for Venli to tell her that Kaladin, Lift, [[Teft]], and he had a plan, discovered Venli later on while she was still crying and astonished at the news that her people might have survived. Timbre prompted Venli to tell Rlain her whole story, and she did so without holding back any of her culpability.{{book ref|sa4|96}}

 

Having decided to abandon the Radiants and escape with her own group of people using Raboniel's writ, Venli alerted her people.{{book ref|sa4|96}} As they stood at the [[Oathgate]] waiting for transfer to [[Kholinar]], however, Timbre conveyed to Venli that she was disappointed in her. Venli argued that she couldn't be of any help to them, but Timbre assured her that she was learning to use her powers. Venli suggested that Timbre find a singer who cared more than she did, but Timbre firmly stated that she wanted Venli, that Venli was a "wonderful mistake." The more Venli complained, the more insistent Timbre became that their bond was right and that Venli would do what was right.{{book ref|sa4|102}}
