Michael and Alice would never discuss specific topics while others were present because they could never be certain who belonged to the traitorous families and Descendants. To be precise, this was one of the reasons they chose to avoid discussing some topics in public.

The same thing could be said about Michael. It was just a little bit different in his case. He didn't have to speak in his family's name to gain a public voice. Everything he said was important to the most influential members of the Tritan Alliance. He possessed Extraction and the means to transform every family into the strongest – if he was willing to support them.
