[ Matt can't define the exact quality that's different in Paul right now. But he can tell that something is different; a little jitter runs down his spine, a thrum of adrenaline. Not strictly a bad thing.
(Is this a "war"? Matt guesses he's been strategizing like it is one. Maybe Paul means a war in a more metaphorical sense. They are all engaged in a fairly existential struggle, and occasional combat has been involved.) ]
Congratulations.
[ That part is easy enough. It comes naturally to be happy for Paul, especially since it sounds like he's finding his feet in something he used to love: organized religion. ]
"The Precious Blood" is a pretty evocative moniker.
