Seems unjustified for getting a sweet deal. Dramatic, yes, fire is always fantastic, but necessary? nah. If you like this character, you could write about how much they didn’t like the seller, how much they enjoy fire, and how they managed to pull off this stunt. I’ve written about a pyromaniac myself in the past. Welcome to ficly, and keep trying to become a better writer.
