It depends largely with whom you're working. If you know the person on the other side of the screen then it becomes easier, as there's that trust. My main RP partners where Raze and APS. We were all very familiar with the strengths/weaknesses of our characters, as well as the mindset of one-another as roleplayers, and we allowed minor things like what you've described above to maintain flow and introduce a bit of improv to the story, so it didn't become A attacked B, only for B to counter, leading A to do this.
