- SA:RoW:Ch 56 Pulses thoughts to Venli all evening — about ignorance as an advantage to new Radiants, that it is all right to be afraid of new things — and thrums to Excitement with her at the realisation that the tower's interference also conceals Radiant power use, then to Sorrow and Disappointment as the Deepest Ones arrive at the same conclusion about where to look for a node.
- SA:RoW:Ch 60 Pulses sympathetically as Venli mourns with Rlain, urges her to show him what she is, holds her on the Rhythm of Conceit long enough to bargain successfully for his release from Raboniel, and afterwards aches as if using one of the wrong rhythms cost her something.
- SA:RoW:Ch 67 Pulses inside Venli through the entire eighth-floor practice — consoles her about Jaxlim's death, urges her to try Stormlight and then Voidlight, joins gleefully when the stones sing, and quietly explains that three more of her kind have come into the tower and bonded Venli's friends as squires.
- SA:RoW:Ch 74 Pulses comfortingly that Venli is not to blame for what Ulim did; thrums approval when Venli resists Lirin's casual authority; thrums to a rhythm Venli does not recognise when she defends the meaning of the shash glyph.

- SA:RoW:Ch 96 Quiet nudge to Venli's spren-bound mind that gently pushes her to tell Rlain the unvarnished story.
- SA:RoW:Ch 102 Pulses at Venli's hip throughout the queue, refusing her self-loathing — calls her doing well, says what matters is direction not speed, encourages the pivot to helping Stormblessed's family.
- SA:RoW:Ch 106 Pulses comfortingly inside Venli and presses her — *show her, show her, show her* — to reveal what she has become to Leshwi.
- SA:RoW:Ch 107 Pulses *showhershowhershowher* inside Venli as the slaughter begins, urging her to reveal her Radiance to Leshwi.
- SA:RoW:Ch 109 Pulses through Venli — does not know an honorspren named Riah, does not think any of the old ones survived the human betrayal — and offers, through her spren's friends, to try again with Leshwi's kind.
- SA:RoW:Ch 111 Tells Venli that Rlain is spoken for, just before Tumi reveals himself.

- SA:WaT:Ch 78 Thrums a theory inside Venli that the first highstorm-Everstorm convergence was uniquely violent because of where it met.
- SA:WaT:Ch 89 Pulses inside Venli as she traces the tone down through stone and water.
- SA:WaT:Ch 90 Pulses an explanation for Venli — that this is Odium's hidden pool, the equivalent of Cultivation's, and that it has likely been masked through someone bonded to spren of both Shards.
- SA:WaT:Ch 91 Pulses inside Venli to the Rhythm of the Lost — *I am my own. Not his* — and lets her stand unafraid before El.
