It seems the question was rhetorical, and did not require an answer. Cain was defiantly saying,
"I am NOT my brother's keeper!"
Although there is no response recorded from Elohim, it should not be taken to mean that God did not answer. It seems unlikely that the few terse sentences between God and man contained in Genesis, and in other monographs, include all that was said.
That would have been a time to have been a fly on the wall.
