Guts doesn't mind the blood - the fighting's already got his armor splattered in it, anyway - so he steps in the puddle and drags the body closer to her so she can check it properly. Not exactly the gentle treatment, but he's trying to meet her half-way here.
"Not how things usually go in the battlefield I know. For mercenaries, it's a jinx to focus too much on the dead."
When it came down to it, there were simply too many soldiers, too many corpses. When the numbers start to get into the thousands, it was impossible to comb over them all.
