=== Escape Plans ===
As Venli solidified her desire to lead her people away from the Fused and to freedom, Timbre suggested to her that instead of trying to force those who came to her to share her opinions and thoughts, they should allow each their own agency; Venli honored that idea when dealing with [[Shumin]] and the others. As Venli explained their tentative plans to the singer, Timbre agreed with her that their hope that they might find a sympathetic Fused was unlikely and later disapproved when Venli attributed her Radiant powers to her Voidspren instead of to Timbre. She reminded Venli that their plans necessarily involved risk, which reminded Venli to check in Shadesmar for spies just in time to see Lady [[Leshwi]] approaching. The two of them were terribly frightened they had been discovered but instead were summoned to help Leshwi investigate the newest batch of Fused.{{book ref|sa4|11}}
The following day, Venli had to fulfill her role as Voice for Lady Leshwi at a conclave of important singers. Timbre restrained a budding desire in Venli that aspired to the Fused's immortality, reminding her that she was deceived if she thought she would ever receive that honor and reminding her of their insanity. She was frightened by the [[Nine]] singing an alien song in unison when they heard of the [[Fourth Bridge]] and later desired to warn Venli again of her ambition. That time, however, Venli felt that that particular ambition-wanting to widen the divisions she saw among the Fused-was necessary to attain freedom. When Leshwi decided to lend Venli to [[Raboniel]] as a servant for the infiltration of [[Urithiru]], Raboniel annoyed both Venli and Timbre by asking Leshwi how she had "collected" the Last Listener. Observing that Leshwi did not trust Raboniel, Timbre encouraged Venli to ask Leshwi if there might be a way to reestablish her people. They were frustrated by Leshwi's reply when she told Venli to wait until the Fused gained victory over the humans and left the world for the singers. Abandoning that thought, Timbre exitedly pointed out to Venli that going to Urithiru was a great opportunity to be among Radiants who might be able to help train her.{{book ref|sa4|14}}
=== Infiltration ===
Timbre and Venli accompanied the force that traveled to Urithiru. As they hiked through the mountains towards the tower, they observed the [[Deepest Ones]] with curiosity, thinking about their own stone shaping ability. Raboniel noticed Venli's curiosity, frightening the two of them into thinking they had acted suspiciously. They grew even more worried when Raboniel made it clear that she knew Venli was spying for Leshwi. When the conversation led to Raboniel explaining about the Surge of [[Cohesion]], though, Timbre pulsed to Caution to restrain Venli's excitement at finally receiving answers.{{book ref|sa4|31}}
Venli was unexpectedly thrust into the middle of the fight when the group ambushed humans in the tunnels below Urithiru, and she had to kill a human in self-defense. Timbre pulsed to the Rhythm of the Lost as Venli knelt over her first ever kill. As Venli struggled with her emotions and admitted inwardly that she had been selfish and ambitious before, she held to the truth of that thought and refused to accept Timbre's comforting pulses.{{book ref|sa4|37}}
