He glanced over at Mrs. Bergeron-McIntyre as she took a place on the other side of the room. Perhaps she thought she would catch the Pygmy Granian? Atticus was a little doubtful, but if nothing else, the creature might turn around and fly back towards their group instead of away.
When Ms. Willowgrass spoke up, Atticus turned to her. Should she continue holding the food or set it on the desk? Hm... "Leave it there for now," he said, walking over and picking up an apple. The Granians he had worked with in the past usually liked apples. Hopefully this Pygmy Granian would be no different. "Let's wait and see how she reacts to this first." If it worked, and she decided she desired food over the escape she was looking for, then this might all be resolved with relative ease. If not...they'd just have to be more creative.
Extending the hand that held the bright, juicy apple, Atticus let out a brief, low whistle to get the Granian's attention. No words necessary. She could figure out what an offering of an apple meant.
The Granian continued to fly around as more humans entered the room. Some with food. She took great notice of this and slowed her wings, landing on a far off table to look at the man holding a treat. He was one of the ones that had brought her to this strange place. She flapped her wings, lifting herself over to a closer table, inching closer to the man at her own pace...

Rafael sighed again and would have said something had this worker that wasn't from either of their departments entered the room. "No help is required from Maintenance." If they needed more help with their current situation, it was from the creature department, and not level one.
He shooed her out with a hand while moving far behind the beast, and with his other hand he drew his wand and sent out a gust of warm air. Hoping to scare her directly towards Atticus.
When she felt a gust of warm air hit her rear. It was enough to have her cry out and fly full speed towards the creatures department head holding out the tasty treat.
