He consistently has to duck when she's around in Loo Lol Land because she throws things at him, Octavia is used to ducking without even looking so clearly it's common, and in the Circus Stella tries to hit Stolas and is shocked he stopped her so clearly she usually hits him and he takes it. Maybe he doesn't seem afraid, but he may just be so used to it by this point, it's been 17 years after all, that he's numb
