Hello, I have a question about the rogue diamond comic if you dont mind answering, about octavia in chapter 15, why is she seemingly so bad at killing the main characters? why did she only punch rainbow dash instead of killing her with the sword she whas holding when she did the flash step looking ting sudenly be infront of her (the sword seemingly joust disepeard)? and when she whas close enough to rarity to grab her she only broke her arm instead of doing someting more deadly (also, how does breaking someones arm make them taste blood and smell almonds? did she do someting we couldent see?), octavia have shown herself fast enough to dodge and slice bullets and posebly be as fast as or faster then rainbow dash, she should be easely able to have killed them allready , am I missing someting? ((btw, like the comic otherwise, joust found this weird/aggravating/ilogical, if you dont want to answer me I will accept that))
