Benedict wants to help so he would support this. Sorry late to the party because of sickness but just want to put it out there that Benedict was very invested in this mystery and wants to help out however he can.

He has been putting it out there, too, that he suspects that Julien might be the witch. And he thinks Julien and the prince should figure out what the hell they're doing instead of just moping around blaming each other for stuff in the past. Forcing them to talk it out sounds like a good initial idea that causes no immediate harm (hopefully).


As another aside, he's also concerned with the wolves and worries they're the rest of the clan. Though not sure how to help them, he'd be willing to offer to...idk...gather them? capture them? He doesn't want to hurt them but without breaking the curse he's not sure what else to do with them. House train them. This could go hand-in-hand with trying to help the forest--he'd suggest helping plant new growth as the prince has been doing slowly and whatever else the group could do to help replenish the forest while they're here. It might not be much but the show in concern, faith and hope might help them out with talking to the witch.
