(Question-how good is Elden at identifying poison/poisonous substances?)
Ok so yeah-he can tell there's some sort of toxic substance in it.
She sighs
Lainie: Knock you out, actually-but I suppose we're going to have to do this the hard way-
She quickly pulls out a pistol and cuffs him hard in the back of his head with the butt of it, knocking him out.
Lainie: Aren't we darling..~?
She waits for Elden to go limp
Lainie: AUGH!
she struggles and kicks against him
