Cade is silent for a moment once again, then he nods. It is, however, the sort of nod that communicates 'I am nodding to show I heard and will placate you', not the sort that implies any changes will be made or action taken. He wouldn't even know where to begin.

"...you...." he tentatively begins, "...mentioned earlier, someone who could. Help with that sort of thing." A pause, then, "...who do you think...?" And more importantly, would they accept him-- most signs point to no these days.
