Juno wasn't one to waste time. She slung her arm under Runt's shoulder, and dragged him a short distance to the shower. Saying that she dragged him gives the impression that it was easy. Hardly. Rubber soled boots on a wet bathroom floor trying to haul something that weighs three times your own body weight? Nearly impossible. It wasn't lucky that she was able to, she did have both Crinlin there to help, and the Force to aid her.
It took a minute or two, but eventually Runt was propped up in the corner of the bathroom's shower stall. Admittedly he nearly blended in with the tiles on the walls, but Juno didn't waste a second getting the water going, "Alright, Runt. We're gonna start it off cold and warm you up slowly - the last thing we need to do is send your body into shock."
She squatted over the feline's legs, and tapped on the controls. Admittedly, Juno was going to get soaked too, but she wasn't prepared to leave him alone - not yet anyway. Juno didn't quite understand why she was compelled to stay with him, but she was under the impression that a familiar face, or some sort of continuity was something he would appreciate at this point. Nevertheless, Juno engaged the cold water - which would have felt scolding hot to the half-frozen Kushari, no doubt, but she engaged it and let it run at that temperature for a short while.
"Going to turn it up a little, alright? Just hang in there," a few gentle beeps signalled the water would be coming out approximately ten degrees warmer. The plan was to continue doing this until it got up to around forty five degrees celsius, at which point it would be a 'normal' shower temperature.
