"Oh! Yes, yes we do! You have to go to your Wonder to find this object, much like your signet ring, to be able to do it. I'm sure it will reveal itself to you in time, when you are ready. I found this sword sheath," he motioned to his side, where the ornate sheath hung. There was no sword in it, but from it he could pull his crystal sword from its subspace pocket. That was just an added perk that made him look really cool while purifying someone.
The sheath itself was what summoned his dragon, Kilgharrah.
"Merlinite is a... well. A very unique case. He is a negaverse general that wanted to purify, but was caught up in a very difficult situation. He ended up being corrupted into a half youma because of it, and has taken on some of the characteristics of a dragon. He lives at the library now, in the locked basement, and I take care of him. I consider him a knight, until I find a way to purify him without risk of breaking his starseed."
He looked thoughtful, but shook his head at her next question.
"Not all Earth knights are named from Arthurian wonders, though there certainly are a lot of us. Even my wife, Earth Knight Shalott, is from that lore! It's always interesting to meet someone with a connecting Wonder, though, which makes being part of this particular lore so interesting."

"Shalott! I've met her. It was... Maker's breath, it was a while ago. It was before I'd met you for the first time!" She flashed Camelot a bright smile as though somehow pieces were starting to fall together and make sense again... Then her brow furrowed as something else that he'd said settled in. "Wait. We can go places? Other than when my friends and I were abducted and taken to space I've never been anywhere outside of the city." Mind. Blown. "I... I don't know if I trust all of that. The last time I went somewhere I'm pretty sure I didn't make it, but then I wound up back here. Still not too sure how that all worked."

Camelot nodded his head, remembering all the terrible things he had been through every time he got called away from Destiny City. he could not blame her for her fear of it, considering all that had happened and would likely continue to happen. This place was really, really strange.
"I hear you on that one," he breathed, shaking his head, "but the Wonders aren't dangerous. Well. They at least don't have any Chaos in them. Plus, if we are both present, we can travel between our Wonders since we're connected. At least, that much has been true with other Arthurian knights! I find a very wonderful peace each time I visit my Wonder, and there is always something new to find there no matter how many times I go."
But in that regard, he was a very big nerd. He loved Arthurian lore, and always had, long before he ever actually joined the war with Camelot as his name. So going to the actual place was rather like really being able to go to Kanto, or some other similarly nerdy comparison.
"If you've never been to your Wonder, then you should definitely try to go. It takes some practice and a lot of quiet, to clear your mind enough to hear a pledge. Find some place that brings you peace, where you don't have to worry about anything, and maybe you'll be able to find your Wonder in due time. Once you learn the way there, traveling becomes rather easy! I can always take you to Camelot, too, if you'd like."

"S-say I make it there. Say I travel to -- You're saying I'd actually travel to Celliwig? What if I go there and I can't come back? What if I'm stuck there? Should I... Can I bring food with me?" She was starting to get a headache and she wasn't sure she needed to be thinking about all of this all at once even if the idea of feeling at peace somewhere sounded amazing. "You make this all seem incredible. Not -- not frightening, the way it all feels like it should seem," she murmured, glancing up to the elder Knight. "Thank you. For trying to help me out both of the times we've met, Camelot."

"You can always come back: it's your Wonder. Your magic is tied to it, but it's a place of history and memory now. Consider it a safe haven, and you get to decide who goes there, and who comes back. You can take food there, and even other White Moon friends, if you'd like. It can be a bit of a drain on your energy, though."
Not for him, not these days, but he remembered when traveling had been more difficult. It always took time between trips.
He smiled at her, shaking his head as she thanked him.
"I understand how overwhelming this all can be, believe me. I've been there, and I continue to experience it despite being in this war for so long. I think the best way to make it easier is to have friends and allies you can rely on, and people to share your stories and fears with. So if I can offer that to you, then I'm more than happy to!"

It was good to know that she could take food with her. Better to know that she could bring people with her too (not that she had anyone to bring). "How do I get back home, though? Do I just click my heels and think of not wanting to be there anymore?" Magic was so weird. "So maybe... You can teach me more about all of this strange stuff and, trade off, I'll bring you a video game you can borrow? And we have to play Gauntlet some time, even if it means finding two other people to play with us."

"Well, essentially, yes. That is how you get home. Just a bit of focus, like you do to get there."
He gave her a shrug, not knowing how it worked, only that it did. While he did what he could to question and learn about the things around them, some of the finer points of magic were lost on him. Maybe they were things he was just not meant to understand. As long as they worked, like powering up and down and going to his Wonder, he had nothing to complain about.
"I think that sounds like a good trade!" He laughed and offered her his hand. They could play video games after the lessons were done. It seemed fair enough, and would probably make learning more about being a knight easier for her.
And how to be not so old easier for him.
Maybe.
