Monty did not want to focus himself on watching Walker since he wanted to see staff skills, yet when he looked at Scylla he knew that there was no choice. He was going to learn from what he saw or he would be pushed in to an extreme training regiment. He also saw that his rival sitting next to him was already processing the stance and the possibility of taking knowledge from a high tier skill.
Walker was readying himself and had begun to talk himself through his movements. He may have been too far for anyone to hear him but that was the very reason he did it. He wanted to understand his motions and his changes so that he could apply any of them better. To do this he spoke out loud, thought on it, and acted on it. These three things would make him forever remember it in his muscle memory. All that would be left was later repetition.
