Dosho,
It was simply a matter of wanting to know protocol. There's really not much discomfort in this setting. But I have been in sesshins outside of Treeleaf where there was indeed discomfort when chastised by a teacher or senior practitioner for a misstep. (Like the time I did not properly line up my sandals outside the Zendo.)
No problem
