Have you seen what happens when announcements are made to groups in Riftwatch, Abby.
If the answer comes a little unexpected, it's only because he's still trying to reconcile the evil alien army-leading Loki that Tony's told him about with the well-mannered man he's met here. It makes sense that Loki would know people, would've made friends, but the thought's still weird.
Though maybe it shouldn't be. He's found Loki pretty likable, despite himself.
"I've talked to him." He'd taken it pretty well, all things considered, though it's not like Jim has an image in his mind for what not well would look like. He hasn't talked to Astarion yet. "I don't intend to let anyone else be left in the dark for much longer."

Also: bad people deserve to have friends too, don't be rude.
"Good." This is in response to both statements. It eases her a lot to hear that Loki already knows about this, especially because now Abby wants to gossip with him, "If I think of anything else I want to ask, can I contact you?"
Or would he rather fob her off. Left unsaid, only implied.
Answering questions, now or later, is just an extension of this responsibility he's taken upon himself. At least, as far as he's concerned. Any time may sound like a pleasantry, but Astarion (for instance) would be able to verify that he picks up his crystal at all hours no matter how late it is. When does he sleep? Don't worry about it.
"And if you ever want to ask me something in person, my room's on the fourth floor of the old mage tower. My door's usually open."
She's standoffish so it won't be readily apparent, but this answer does endear him to her.
"Okay," she says, adding, "Appreciate it," like it's an afterthought. She probably will come to chat with him in person, though it won't be on Astarion's recommendation thanks.
"I'd better let you go." Except that it's a clear dismissal, because she has a lot to process, and she'd like to do that off the training grounds where she'll only distract herself with her mace and some unlucky target.

"Of course, any time."
