Lovely! I'm interested in the use of quilt patterns. Would that imply the first contact between the two people wasn't spoken at all, but the offering of a blanket? I'd love to know more about the logistics of pictographic soulmarks in this setting. Do they still appear to any great degree in modern times? Has anyone ended up with emoticons/emoji as all or part of their soulmark if their first contact with their soulmate was text-based?
