First message

Montagne was in the library inside the facility, looking for books that could aid him with his language learning troubles. He shared his doubts with Harry about his "weakness" with learning languages, so Harry encouraged him to focus on only one language to study. He tried to do that by himself for a long time, but something wasn't working.

The Frenchman also expressed this to his GIGN teammates, and a few other operators he feels close to. Everyone reassured him that his English was fine, so he should choose a different language. The Frenchman chose German since he felt like it was the safest bet, and he could ask for help from his friend and fellow shield specialist Blitz. The jovial and goofy German who's also quite a linguist with his skill to grasp nuances of languages quickly. If Blitz figures out a language so quickly, maybe he could learn a thing or two from him. Plus, the German would surely share a few tips about how he manages to learn the basics of several languages within a short timeframe. And maybe his notes/study technique. If he can't help, Montagne isn't sure who can then.

As he looks through the books in the language learning section, he notices someone struggling to reach for a particular book on the highest shelf a short way off. The tall Frenchman interrupts his search and makes his way towards them. Montagne is surprisingly quiet as he walks, considering his imposing presence. He clears his throat to get their attention, a​​nd locks his ever-present unwavering gaze with theirs. "Bonjour, may I help you?" He asks in a calm voice that contrasts with his usual tone during ops.
