The Chosen Men get Keith back to their tent area, none even moving to lay him in rest inside his shared tent just yet. His back needed treatment first and the mat needed to be dragged back inside the tent too. 
Kolivan stays holding Keith up as best as he could, Rolo walking round to support Keith from his front as Hunk steps away towards Keith's bag that was still left dumped outside his and Pidge's shared tent. 
"Lance, make up our tent, please" Pidge lightly ordered towards her tall friend, trusting him to fix up the inside of their tent for them and not question anything he may see. 
"Sure" Lance smiles back back, nodding towards her before heading inside their tent. 
Lance is left busy dragging Pidge's sleeping mat inside, covering the spare corset she had left tucked under it before. Placing her blanket back on before moving to neaten out both Keith's sleeping mat and the extra sleeping mat laid between both halves of the mat for Kat to sleep on. Making Kat's bed well enough before folding her mat in half to give some foot space for the others to drag Keith inside later. Folding Keith's blanket to the foot of his mat, knowing he'd probably not want anything against his back when he goes to lay on his stomach to rest. 
"Pint of rum. Half and Half" Pidge orders out kindly towards Hunk who's already pulling out Keith's bottle of rum from his back, knowing their friend would prefer the good stuff used on him and not the cheap stuff. 
Hunk soon hurrying back towards the others, ready to do the worse part of the next stage. Pidge offering her hands towards a mostly slumped and limp Keith, giving him something to squeeze and grip through the pain. Keith accepts her hands, his hold weak and Pidge nods towards Hunk. 
All wince as Keith hisses out, gaining half the bottle of rum poured all over his back. Keeping his wounds clean and hopefully disinfected. The bottle soon shoved against Keith's lips, leaving him to drink the other half to help with the pain. 
Lance stepping out and rushing to his and Hunk's tent, prepared to grab the extra bandages. Pidge would grab the Parrafin oil and best brown paper from her bag later. For now, they'll use bandages to try and deal with the bleeding. 
Keith whimpers, sounding like an dying animal and leaving all Chosen Men to fill with hurt and remorse. Knowing Keith was normally one of the strongest and held a high pain tolerance too. But all understood that having no skin left on your back would clearly hurt a lot. 

"It's all done, Kitten. We're going to lay you to rest now. Try to let sleep take you, it'd help with some of the suffering and discomfort" Pidge tells Keith, slipping her hands free from his once he was bandaged as well as can be. 
Keith just tiredly nods before letting himself be half carried and half dragged by both Hunk and Kolivan again. Being laid on his stomach and feeling someone turn his head to the side so he wouldn't suffocate. He was asleep before the pair left his tent. 
"Well done, everyone" Pidge tells them with an weak smile, pride in her eyes for them all keeping a cool head during it all. 
"Do you think it's worth to have Kat sleep with the camp followers tonight? He won't be in a good state tonight" Hunk asked with an worried expression, knowing Keith didn't want Kat to see him at his worse.
