Bruce uncurls his posture when she bumps his elbow and kindly changes the topic for him. He sets Ringo up on his skinny shoulder, breaking off another piece of crust for the rat before taking a bite of his sandwich again.
"Well, we can go to the dumpsters this time and know how much we really need." He points at her backpack since it contains their 'master plan'. "This way, we're not filling your room with cardboard when we might just need a couple pieces."
"Oh right," Betty had forgotten they had to abandon the cardboard at the dumpsters. Worry painting her features. "Hopefully it doesn't go anywhere till tomorrow." They couldn't really walk back today, that would take too long.
Betty reaches over to pull out the notebook and flips to the plan of attack. Numbering the sides to see how much cardboard they would need as she leans against the couch next to him.
"I've never worked with rats before, so I don't know how tall the walls need to be." He points to a question mark he wrote where there should be a dimension for the maze wall height.
Ringo, for his part, is sniffing about Bruce's shoulder for further crumbs, and decides that his neck, and then his ear might hold answers. Tiny whiskers and a nose poke into Bruce's ear and he laughs, leaning away from the sensation and into Betty's shoulder.
She chews on her pencil, considering the problem. "It should probably be higher than they can stand..." She'll have to measure each of the rats and get an average.
Betty looks over to see Ringo inspecting Bruce's ear for food and giggles despite herself, reaching around to try and save him from being sniffed to death. Picking up Ringo carefully off his shoulder and not realizing how close she was now. "Easy, he's company. Be nice."

"Hey! There's nothing yummy about my ear!"
