The Doctor can tell from the expression on James' face that he's not too happy to have a stranger in his flat. So can Jack, apparently, judging from the way he is looking at James.
The Doctor will of course leave if it turns out that James really doesn't want him here - and there are reasons enough that James wouldn't; apparently, he lives here with Jack, and the Doctor can only too well understand reluctance to share one's personal space - but he does want to see those tapes. When Jack hustles back into the kitchen, the Doctor calls to him that he would love a glass of water, and then turns back to James, trying for a charming smile.
"So, you two live here together? That's brilliant! Lovely flat; I love the sofa."
That's not even untrue, it's a very appealing shade of bright orange.
