The atmosphere grew electric with peril.
The intensity of the mood that had settled on the world was palpable.

"I know that you come from beyond our world."

Her tone grew increasingly perilous.
"I know because I have met all manner of men in this world, and yet..."
Her eyes sharpened with danger.
"I have not met any man as grotesque as you."
