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.

So she plops them on a mountainside. South continent, middle of nowhere.
And he sings for several hours. Not magical songs, just loud and stirring and pretty ones.

They're nice. She records them for listening to while she is stuck in accelerated perception; variety is good.
"Ready to go back," he says, "and you shouldn't even bother, Cáno's a thousand times better."

"I have listened to all the recordings I have of his enough to contemplate improvising harmony, which is a high bar to clear considering my lack of musicianship." She pops him back.
So ask him for more, he says, putting he necklace on, he's got thousands of hours of songs. And good luck.
Good! You saw we got him out, Mother's mostly back with it, everyone's safe. All I could want. You?

Getting lots of work done. The other teleporter took care of a couple more rocks, I'm hoping the Enemy gets the hint that it's not working.
And does something else?

And maybe takes a few years to think of a something else.
How many years do you need?
purposeful_glory
- original estimate in sidereal time fifty to two hundred, narrowed since then to fifty to seventy-five, first twenty or so of that knocked down already, factor of three in the hole, partway there - If I assume I'm not interrupted by many things that require my personal attention one way or another, could be ten years, could be more than that.
Okay. We'll hang on.

To mention or not to mention that if they provoke a war by being contemptible idiots this will certainly constitute something that demands Loki's personal attention. Good.
The response would in any event have been the ever-unhelpful 'we're not Kinslayers'.

No doubt. I'll be back in a few weeks, unless there's anything I should stick around for.
Invitations are again extended to stay over any time.

Rain check on the princess sleepover. Maybe once they can invite Thor.
Nothing drags her out of acceleration. Three missiles at a time? No problem. Ten? Just as easy. Missiles shot continuously for a day? No problem. The two target cities have effective communication. The Dwarves are grumpily digging themselves back underground where Dwarves belong and where that sort of thing cannot happen.

Poor Dwarves.
She pushes; she manages to stay under for three months real time. She thinks she has a handle on the scope of the problem and the rest should just be filling in.
(She makes sure to thank Celebrimbor when she's between months-in-the-hole.)
She visits Maedhros and takes him out wherever he'd like to be when she's having a break.

Maedhros is in a good mood; he thinks his project is proceeding, at inscrutable Elf pace. This time he'd like to go flying.
And two swifts, and some aerial acrobatics.
