I will say that Stone also has them all memorized. He will still be devastated... and then angry... but the loss isn't irrepairable. Just a huge pain in the ass because now he has to make a bunch of new ones and that takes time.

Whether or not Stone accepts him as a student, Acantha would do everything possible to help with replacing them. He will gather and work clay day and night, if he has to.

Although he might leave the imprinting to others, because an ill-timed seizure could be a horrible setback in the process.

[scarsolderthanyou]

They'll need a lot of clay, so he'll absolutely take him up on that. He can maybe help with inscribing if his hand is steady when not seizing (and he can write), cuz fixing a clay tablet that hasn't been fired yet isn't that hard. They don't fire until the writing is done.

[insidegalra]

Acantha absolutely has a steady hand when he's not pretending to be terrified of everything (or seizing) and because he's trained all his life for this mission, he has worked hard to make his memory nearly perfect too. With a little practice writing by hand (admittedly, he's only ever typed before) he could accurately replicate any tablet he's had a chance to look at for a few minutes. With a lot of practice, he could replicate down to the original creator's 'handwriting' as it were.

[scarsolderthanyou]

Since these are destroyed (and Stone has no idea about Acantha having them memorized, ahaha) what'll be happening is Stone is dictating them from his own memory. So if he can take dictation, he'll be good.

(And if he does use the original handwriting, Stone might start to wonder a little. once he's done having an emotional moment.)

[insidegalra]

Eventually Acantha will be able to safely drop the act, and admit that he's a plant of a rebel group trying to free the Folk from their reality TV imprisonment.

And that he has no idea what to do with his life now that his mission is (hopefully) done, help.

Since Circe is fully willing to hurt herself to frame Cain even further, think it would be out of the question for her to attack Acantha too? If he has a seizure from it he won't be in any state to reliably say who it was that attacked him.

[insidegalra]

Yeah, but I'm pretty sure he could put two and two together.

I'm totally up for that if it happens!

[desperate_times_right]

Oh I’m sure she could tell a heart rending story about his quavering sincerity in the face of Cain lol

[insidegalra]

Oh, I'm sure she could. This'll be so much fun

[desperate_times_right]

Yeah and like with older tablets most of the people who carved them are dead so like it’s the destruction of that history of their people even if they rewrite it.

[scarsolderthanyou]

Hence the devastation before he gets angry :< He knew and loved some of those people who made those.
