Also, the blades thing is nice until you remember she will be warpaint and all in Polis withn a few episodes, so I doubt her hiatus from being Skairipa is shortlived. I'm still shipping Jasper with Octavia... though many people would say that ship sunk 3 seasons ago :). It did seem somewhat predictable that she'd be with Illian, but not in a natural sort of way.

I think Octavia dropping her blades may be more of her deciding she isn't going be JUST a rampaging killer, and that shes getting some of her humanity back. With that said, she won't, nor do I want, her to abandon her warrior prowess anytime soon.
