Prompt

Sherlock Holmes invited Rosa Luxemburg for a cooking date in the encampment's kitchen. Everything goes well but when they want to dig in suddenly Rosa Luxemburg pulls out a big golden cross for a mealtime prayer, and Sherlock just goes "what?????" with an extremely shocked and confused expression.

Rosa Luxemburg is depicted as a strong, intelligent woman with sharp, thoughtful eyes and wavy dark hair pinned up neatly. She wears early 20th-century attire — a high-collared blouse and long skirt — giving her a dignified, scholarly air. Her expression blends warmth with fierce conviction, reflecting both her compassion and revolutionary spirit.

The holy golden cross gleams with radiant light, its surface intricately engraved with delicate patterns and symbols of faith. The gold catches and reflects every glimmer, casting a warm, divine glow. It exudes a sense of sacred power and serenity, as if blessed by a higher presence.

Sherlock Holmes is a tall, lean man with sharp, intelligent features and piercing eyes that miss nothing. He typically wears a deerstalker hat, an Inverness cape, and carries a curved pipe, exuding an air of precise, analytical brilliance. His expression is cool and calculating, suggesting a mind always at work solving hidden mysteries.

The scene is inside a large medieval canvas tent. The encampment kitchen is dimly lit by flickering lanterns and the glow of a central fire pit. Rough wooden tables hold iron pots, clay bowls, and bundles of herbs hanging from ropes overhead. The air is thick with smoke, the scent of roasting meat, and the chatter of cooks moving between cauldrons and barrels of supplies.
