Sarah's response to his letter had certainly surprised Darcy, but it was a pleasant surprise. He had meant every word - he truly did miss the company of Dr O'Hara, and her invitation had been so kind and thoughtful that he couldn't possibly have said no.
It was a little silly, but he had thereafter become quite anxious about what he was supposed to wear. He felt odd and inappropriate in anything too casual, and he was trying to find the balance between appearing so bizarrely 19th Century that he would confuse the kid, and being comfortable in himself. Ashley had eventually convinced him into a modern suit, but he did insist on all the layers despite her telling him he really needn't have a waistcoat. Or a pocket watch.
He was also worried that Mouse wouldn't like him, and then he'd be labeled as untrustworthy forever, and everyone on the station would know and ostracise him and - okay, he was definitely having some social anxiety. But he loved dogs, and he would've liked an opportunity to see Mouse anyway.
As it was, it turned out he needn't have worried. Mouse was very pleased with his visitor, and Darcy was very taken with him in turn. He was a lot of dog, and all of Darcy's anxiety seemed to just melt away as he played with him. He'd almost forgotten who he was actually meant to be visiting.
