I'll be honest, I'm not going to be happy if you shut down my dramatic entrance and humiliate my character with a beating. I consider this a dramatic interruption, the type of which you often see in fantasy and anime which the characters quickly recover from and nobody is lit on fire. It was something I considered several different angles on for the best compromise, and if you could extend me some leeway with it, I'll return the favor. It's the improv way.
