Dinah looked away and didn't meet Fred's eyes right away. She was a little shaken by the close call from the other day, and she felt guilty that she was talking to Fred about it before she talked to Dean. It wasn't that she didn't want to talk to him. She did. She just wanted the chance to be able to tell him that she was already working on something to make sure she was safer. Maybe she was a little worried about how he would take it. After all, it was right around this time last year that they'd gotten into a fight over her not including him in the thing with Eric. She really didn't want to miss another Christmas with Dean. She knew that it wasn't fair to wait until after the holiday to tell him, but she couldn't help but put things off a little bit until she could hopefully bring good news with the bad. After all, he'd been wanting her to get a better costume for ages, hadn't he?
Finally she looked back at Fred.
"I'm okay. I just need an upgrade on my costume. My friend Bruce offered to work on one, but I kind of wanted your input there too."
She literally trusted Fred with her life and as long as Bruce and Fred could work together, she wanted both of her friends to have a part in this. Assuming that Fred was willing of course.
