I bent down and scooped him up into my arms, cradling him against my chest.
He'd have been a heavy armful for a normal human, but he didn't weigh anything at all to me in this form, any more than he did in the other. I took him carefully into the bedroom and set him down in the middle of our bed.
He didn't move.
Shower first, because Lirien would probably prefer it if I lost my shit and screamed at him over getting in the bed with him tainted with zombie juice.
I stepped out of the bathroom two minutes later, still a little damp but smelling like nothing but me. I climbed onto the bed with him, not bothering with clothes, wrapping myself around his furry little body and holding him close, stroking him between his tufty ears.
I had no idea if wild bobcats liked that; I honestly didn't even know if Lirien did, since he usually only shifted to run by himself.
But I didn't know what else to do.
