May elects not to prod the old computer - she doesn't think there's likely to be a ton of information on the open internet for teenage girls Googling "so I'm a dragon" to find. Instead she spends the morning in her hotel room, alone, playing with shapeshifting very carefully. There is a teeeeny little gouge in the carpet when she's done, but she hides that with a chair and there's no other damage.

She is pretty sure she can maintain human shape by lunchtime, and rejoins her group and succeeds at exactly that for the rest of the field trip, being cagey about the disposition of her indisposition.

She remains resolutely human the entire trip to France. She takes in French things. She speaks as much French as she can manage. And then they haul all the way home.
