Still blushing, Hayden shook his head. "I have no idea, " he lied, quite obviously thanks to his flushed cheeks. He fell quiet for a bit, then realized Kira probably wouldn't let him get by with that. Even in her current state. She wasn't dumb.
"Stop messing with that," he scolded lightly, smiling as he reached for her hand. "See...there was a slight 'incident' once..." He changed topics quickly, aiming to get this settled as soon as possible then get away from the subject. "Nothing to it really...except bad timing and circumstance. I was helping another guest to her room once...unfortunately, once in her room, she...well, she sort of passed out...and collapsed on me. I wasn't really prepared for it and ended up toppling over..." He chuckled, rubbing his neck sheepishly. "Of course, Dr. Hakan walked in a moment later to find us both on the floor...looking rather compromising. I should have known he wouldn't let that one go..." Hayden had no idea why he was telling Kira all of this. He'd certainly never shared the story with anyone else...not even Karen. Maybe it was the hope that she wouldn't remember any of this after she woke up again...

Kira chuckled when Hayden took her hand away from the gauze and stitches, and then started giggling tiredly at the story. "Maybe... it's Dr. Hakan's way of joking? He reminds me a lot like my dad.... so serious all the time....."
Kira's eye lids suddenly felt heavy and she snuggled into the pillow, still holding gently to Hayden's hand. "Could you tell him.... that he's a lot...." She gave a big yawn before continuing, "A lot like my daddy?" She managed to open her eyes to give Hayden a very sleepy smile.

Joking? Dr. Hakan...joking? She was kidding, right?
Then again, she couldn't possibly know the truth...and Hayden wasn't about to be the one to tell her...
Besides, her next mumbled statements about floored the poor guard. 'A lot like her daddy?' What sort of man did that make her father? No...no, she was simply basing her impression of Dr. Hakan on the fact that he'd just stitched her up after a bad fall. Typical version of a hero complex. Hopefully, in the morning, she'd wake up and forget all about this silly notion.
But, for now, it was Hayden's job to comfort her so she'd get a good night's sleep.
Not such an unwelcome job in itself.
He smiled, placing his other hand over hers. "Sure...now, you get some rest, okay, Kira? And mind messing with that bandaging." With a slight chuckle, he patted her hand and settled comfortably into the chair beside her bed. Might as well wait until she fell asleep to leave. The poor thing didn't seem too far out of dreamland as it was.

Kira smiled a little more. "Should put... a cone on me..." She laughed a bit, squeezed Hayden's hand, then went out like a light.
