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.

Just don't judge them too much, it's a lot to think around.

Yeah, not everybody has my "wow, this feature of my culture is bullshit, I will proceed to ignore it except for public purposes" talent.
I'm ready to leave when you are.
Crown prince of the Noldor. Very troublemaking but not in a gendered way at all. Proud of me?
He will be unable to complain that I have no personality.

Then sure, I am proud of you.
And she brings him to Himring nice and discreetly.

And Fëanor has dinner in the same place where two months ago he had a fight with his son. There are two additional chairs at his desk. He does raise an eyebrow when he sees Fingon.
"I invited you here because Maedhros is unwilling to explain what he sees in you but I am an optimist and think there must be something."
"Perhaps I am merely very good in bed," Fingon says, sitting down.
"I would have found that a very reassuring answer, actually."

"If you have anything else going for you, though," Fëanor says after a minute.
"Is this an audition? He wants me. He'll choose me over you if you press him. I am not actually here in any particular hope of winning your approval."
"You seem to tell yourself it's unachievable when I actually think my standards are very low."

"Well, there's how interesting he is and there's how that can be usefully communicated," remarks Loki. "You probably wouldn't fall for one of those people who has people hanging on their every word without saying anything but that doesn't mean you can't make the opposite mistake if you aren't gratifying to perform for."
"I'm confused about your investment in this - not very confused, because obviously Maedhros wanted your help arranging secret visits and that is certainly sufficient explanation for you having been carefully exposed to bits of a story you'd get invested in, but a little confused, because it does not seem like an interesting priority."

"I'm full to bursting with galactic sensibilities, I think they're adorable, and they seem to benefit from having somebody around who thinks they're just - plain - adorable. I have suspected since before I even rescued Maedhros and known since shortly after, the information was not planted to secure my transportational help."
"I was coping badly with the news he'd been captured," Fingon says, "and couldn't justify rescuing him yet, though I was going to once my people were settled -"
"You'd have died."
"Probably. I am very pointedly not yelling at you for not trying."

"I've been advised that I shouldn't have tried, but I stand by it."
"We looked into it," Fëanor says. "We aren't Loki and wouldn't have stood a chance. I suppose it's not like you had anything more valuable to do with your life."
"You know, Loki used to respect you, it seems like a good time to pretend to be a decent human being."

Sigh. "Today I'd settle for 'capable of rephrasing things'."
"I think that attempting to rescue Maedhros would have been a good use of your effort," says Fëanor.
"Thank you. I think it would have also been a good use of yours."

...this is technically what she said she'd settle for. Okay.
"If you tell me how you were planning to do it perhaps the plan will reveal you're in possession of some character traits."
"Sadly I hadn't had much time to develop one; I only knew he was gone for a week before Loki found him. A lot of very careful music, probably. I did not expect I could get us out alive."
