Bofur/Relationships

== Family ==
===Bifur===
Both he and his cousin drabbled in toy making. He cares the exact same thing with his cousin Bifur, treating him like abrother tooBofur called his brother's and his cousin's names, fearing they were destroyed by Smaug. They are reunited and embrace one another.
===Bombur===
Bombur is Bofur's younger brother. He grew up to tease yet care for his brother. Back in the days before the Quest of Erebor, Bofur constantly picked on his younger brother Bombur, mostly about his weight. He still loved Bombur though and protected him at any cost. Even looked after him during the story. He also forbade Bombur from having enough, as he has enough food that day and night.
== Friends ==
=== Bilbo Baggins ===
Bofur was also one of the few dwarves to initially showed Bilbo kindness. The other ones included Fíli, Kíli, and Balin. Most of the others seemed to have completely ignore Bilbo, but Bofur was willing to enter a friendship with him. Despite only knowing each other for a few weeks, Bofur sometimes was protective over Bilbo, by pushing him into the center of a circle when they were surrounded by a group of elves who intercepted Azog's army. Bofur later pulled Bilbo up against the rocky side of the mountain and even attempted to pull him back onto the pathway when Bilbo hung on for dear life.
After Thorin insulted Bilbo, he was prompted to take action and leave for Rivendell. Bofur tried convincing Bilbo to stay, as Bofur was one of thsoe who believed Bilbo was "one of them." However, seeing he couldn't convince his hobbit friend,  Bofur did wish Bilbo luck in the world and both shook hands, but they were captured by goblins before Bilbo left.
When they were in Mirkwood, shortly after their escape from the Spiders, Bofur immediately asked where Bilbo was at and was one of the few to notice Bilbo's disappearance and notified Thorin, hoping he saw Mr Baggins as they were taken away.
During The Battle of the Five Armies, Bilbo and Bofur had a small conversation, where Bofur thought the latter was leaving them for good. He also refused to believe that Bilbo betrayed Thorin for selfish reason and helped him escape. When Bilbo left, Bofur nearly cried at saying goodbye, but Bilbo promised they were always welcomed to visit.
It is unknown if they remained in contact with each other after the Battle, but it is unlikely due to Bofur's and Bilbo's friendship.
