Loki parks in Doriath for another six years. She manages to make friends with some of the people who have things to do in accelerated perception. The Men who started as babies are full grown. The spell comes along and she refreshes everyone serving as a sorcery backup on a routine basis. She visits people between stints of work; during same she does things that she doesn't have to move around much to do. Writes a memoir. Screws around with decorative illusions. Sleeps, when absolutely necessary.
She's asleep when the quake hits. But not for very long.

"Well, as long as you can't it also can't happen by accident, that seems like a plus to me." ...She is very discreet in glancing at Tyelcormo.
Hmm? he says instantly anyway.

Rumor has it your thing is people who can beat you in a fight.
Where do these rumors get their sample sizes, there aren't even enough people matching that description in Valinor -
Anyway. Yes, anytime.
Anyway. Yes, anytime.
I was definitely going to say yes if you asked during the war - there's lots of stuff that doesn't risk marriage - but I wouldn't have been particularly flattered. Now I think I shall be.

I didn't want to go anywhere near creepy soul grafts on general principle. What's the change in the flattery quotient for?
You have sexual outlets that aren't 'your adopted species' 'girls, once' and 'literally a vampire Maia that works for Morgoth on contract'?

Fair enough. She's a vampire? I knew she turned into a vampire bat...
Huan says so.

Well, that's grotesque and hopefully not invariably fatal and if I ever visit her again I may ask.
Didn't you promise not to kill her?
Fair enough.
Everyone is enjoying the view of Asgard. Asgard is still pretty up close. Asgardians are interesting too.

The Asgardians are a little interested in the aliens but the presumed dead princess walking around with an infinity stone is a little more attention-getting.
They pass the Allspeak place and Loki returns the wand and meanders everyone to the palace.

A blonde Asgardian comes rushing out of the palace as they make their final approach.
"Sister! You brought your guests! Introduce me!" she exclaims, pouncing on Loki to scoop her into a hug. "Is that the one with the dog—are those the maudlin gay elves—?"

"Yes. Those are them. They have names, I believe I mentioned their names. Tyelcormo and his dog Huan - Huan is a dog in more or less the same sense the Tesseract is an inanimate object, incidentally - and Maitimo and Findekáno and Irissë and Lúthien."
The subjects of the question startle, and stare at each other a little astonishedly, and then Maitimo shrugs with good humor.
I was pretty broken up about you being in Angband, Fndekáno says.
I was pretty broken up about that also, says Maitimo agreeably, though had less of an audience and could acquire less of a reputation for it.

It's really fine, Maitimo says. Lúthien is staring at Thor with wide-eyed longing and Irissë with approval.

Thor puts her sister down.
"I'm so delighted to meet you all!" she says enthusiastically, with no apparent understanding that she may have just committed a social misstep. "Welcome to Asgard! Does anyone want to spar?"
She is, of course, looking primarily at Lúthien and Irissë when she asks. She has heard they do it differently in Arda, but cultural expectations are a powerful force.

The Elves are far more amused than annoyed. "Against Loki it's not even close to even," Irissë says, "I cannot imagine against you'd be any better. But we could give it a try."

"Oh, I don't offer to spar expecting anyone to beat me," she says, grinning. "It's still good sport!"
