Maedhros is not armed.

"I'll show you to Menegroth," she says to him. "Thank you, Loki."
Permalink
"You're welcome."

Can I visit him?
Permalink

Yeah, definitely. I could stand to see more of you. He's not going to try to steal it and run away, or anything stupid like that?

Permalink
I doubt it very much.

He's my friend. Please look after him.
Permalink

Kinslayers require a lot of looking after?

Permalink

This would be the one the Enemy had for a long time until I rescued him and he's still roughly eighty percent sure everything's a hallucination by same with the avatar of the orchestrator of the hallucination being myself.

Permalink
Prisoners of the Enemy are doubly not allowed in Menegroth.

Don't tell my father that, and tell him not to.
Permalink
Don't tell her father the Enemy had you, Loki relays.

Done. My point is he's had a rough time and this is not a pleasant chapter in his life. Look after him for me.
Permalink

I will.

Permalink
Thank you.

And Loki goes.

No one interrupts her. The Oath is satisfied. "Because "send Maitimo" is trying sufficiently hard, not because them pretending to agree to let it be in our possession would be sufficient," Tyelcormo says to her at one point.

Permalink

"Fucking oaths," she says.

Permalink

"If the cousins had picked it up, as much as they hate us, as much as they'd have grounds to hate us, they'd send someone at once asking how to do this right. I think they'd do that if we hadn't sworn, just because something of tremendous value and import of ours had fallen into their hands and they needed it and the right thing to do is to ask how to work things out."

Permalink

"I could have sworn at a variety of things in this situation and I chose oaths."

Permalink

"We have freely shared everything we've developed in this war, and we've been working to the bone to develop more, enough, faster -"

Permalink

"I know. You've been indispensable."

Permalink

"How's teleportation going?"

Permalink

"Ways off. I might try doubling up on acceleration, I might be able to gain more than I lose that way -"

Permalink

"It fucks you up a bit. Though you have healing, so maybe a bit less. We can keep you safe while you're incapacitated, though."

Permalink

"It's worth a try, if it works it gains me more than it loses me if it doesn't."

Permalink
"Ask Maglor about setting it up. Or -"

Hey, Cáno -

He arrives a minute later. "I showed you how to stack songs but this one's very precise, see -"
Permalink

And Loki learns to stack the song, and she stacks it, and she spends as long in there as she can stand.

Permalink

Maglor suggests that she could also listen to sped-up music on some of her breaks, if she finds music restful, so she doesn't have to come out of acceleration whenever she can't take it; and she can osanwë with other people who have accelerated perception, that's usually just Father but they can send anyone she'd enjoy talking with.

Permalink

Music is restful, that helps. No specific conversation requests. It's not like Maedhros is here to play really fast games of Governor. What does Fëanor like to talk about?

Permalink

He takes breaks far less frequently than her and insists they speak Asgardian but turns out to otherwise be a very pleasant conversationalist; he tells the story of how he noticed he was in love with Nerdanel very entertainingly, he is full of anecdotes about Valinor and about his sons when they were children and about ambitious misadventures from his own childhood; he likes hearing Loki's.
