Loki goes instantly where Huan tells her. She has a safety against landing intersected with solid objects, her or any of her belongings, so dramatic as it would be she can't just appear with her opponent already impaled. She has to actually stab him.
So she stabs him, spikes him from there. And hollows out Lævateinn and channels ice into the wound.

'would take more than twelve hours to start a war' disqualifies a startling number of my brothers. Maybe Maglor?

I will go get Maglor.
And she goes and asks Maglor if he'd like to swap Maedhros for a bit.
And she goes and asks Maglor if he'd like to swap Maedhros for a bit.
He'd be happy to, he's been wondering whether Maedhros was going to ever come home.
The two of them look at each other. Maedhros hands Maglor the Silmaril and sound baffle. Maglor takes the sound baffle and tosses it across the room. "I promise not to shake a single mote of dust off the walls," he says, "but I'm not putting up with that. Go home. Get some light. You look like a ghost."

...When the sound baffle is across the room Loki has to kill the loop of the concert, which she does. "Thank you," she tells Maglor, and she pops Maedhros out -
- to nowhere in particular. "Fingon wanted to talk to you and I didn't want to pop him invisibly into Doriath, but I could bring you there, if you want to see him first -?"

"Yes, please."

She turns him invisible and lands within osanwë distance of the Nolofinwëans. Maglor swapped places with him. Can you slip out again?
Yes.
He finds them there a minute later. His face looks even more blandly relaxed than before. I realize it's a bad moment to rehash all of this but I have not forgiven your father and don't see how or when I will, he hasn't apologized.
This wouldn't be a favor to him, Maedhros says, he's going to be furious and unable to do anything about it.
And they do not loop Loki into the conversation from there.

It is a heated staring contest/conversation. At one point Fingon angrily takes a step forward and Maedhros flinches and then they go back to angry silent staring and then -
Take me home, please, Maedhros says.
Take me home, please, Maedhros says.
He gets something of a hero's welcome in Himring. It seems to rather drain at him. Does he want to see me now?
Are you still obliged to chaperone if I'm speaking with family?

I was never told otherwise, but demonstrably I don't care if that means 'paying attention to other things in the same room while the telepathic conversation doesn't include me'.
I apologize for putting you in a position of keeping secrets for me.
Have you seen my father's rooms, here? I didn't have you illusion them for the symbolic reasons... They go upstairs.
They are rather spectacular. Wasted, really, on someone who spends practically all of his time in the workshop. One of Miriel's tapestries is on the opposite wall where a window might be; it shows the Quendi inventing fire.
"...Maedhros." says his father. "Thank you for coming. I hope you're not here just to appease me."
"I have not exactly decided yet. I'm also supposed to be supervised." He nods at Loki.
"Yes, I've heard.
What are you doing after the war?"
"That's not exactly the question I was expecting you to lead with," he says after a second.
"'Anything to say to me?' seemed a bit confrontational. I think this one gets at, of the things that are worrying me, the ones I have the most right to want to know about."
