Ilde is a mess, in general - between the fighting, the kidnapping, all of it, she needs a long, hot shower with industrial strength soap - but the way the blood trails on her skin and clothes go, the tatters in her clothes where the blades went through, they don't suggest the kind of injuries you get in a fight. There's something disturbingly premeditated about it, the blood soaked into her shirt, her sleeves.
They didn't have time to waste dying, either; bleeding out fast was what they needed, because it was the only way out and they had to do it too quickly to be stopped. They had to make sure it happened too quickly for them to be used once they were weak from the blood loss.
