"There's no way to know if you don't try," Tom reasons as they finally arrive at a cabin. He's chosen Dr. Darling's, if only because Alan keeps to himself and he has no desire to let Scratch know about any sort of fun until he's had his (far less dangerous) fill.

"Haven't you ever thought of a story? Created something?"

The cabin is warm and inviting despite the unlit fire, which Tom wanders to rectify with a wave of his hand as a grand gesture of 'make yourself at home.'
