Cross had been listening, paying attention to the nuances of the conversation and prepared to step in and help if things got out of hand. He wasn't a big talker in most instances, and he hadn't volunteered his opinion, which was in line with Bazzer's and Kenneth's, actually. Once Kenneth had spoken to Helena, Cross told him in a quiet aside, "Need any help with that, let me know." He was good with his hands. He might not have much personal affinity for the man, but he wouldn't let that stop him from using his skills where they might be needed.
