I'm afraid that there's a key mistake there. It wouldn't be "around" a fire, but "inside" a fire. Maybe it would be better to think of it as an active volcano? Dangerous, capable of easily killing, the risk of exploding at any moment. You can have romance and all you want around a volcano, but inside one? That wouldn't be wise unless you want to burn to death before you even reach its deepest part, no matter how big the diamonds down there are.
It's not worth it.
[There's a smirk on his face, but it's not one of challenge, neither an amused one. It's both bitter and serious, though the bitterness won't be noticeable by anyone who can't see his eyes up close.]
