Family Quotes in Revenge of the Witch (The Last Apprentice)

Just because Tom's family wants to support him, doesn't mean they're able to put a roof over his head. To be a part of the family, he has to pull his own weight.

Here, Tom is doing his best to empathize with the ghast of the dead soldier. But he's also projecting his own fears. Tom has just left home, and he's the one who's really sad that he might never see his family again. Or that he might never truly be able to go home again.

The Spook seems to have a totally different family background than Tom does. Yet they are similar in other ways. We guess it's not all nature or nurture. Free will and chance have parts to play, too.
