The guarded manor belonging to Robert Canelo, a wealthy merchant. The house is shaped like a U with the area inside the curve a garden with a fountain, while the main entrance is in the center. It’s a two story building and looks relatively new.

Johanna arrived in dark clothing and a new wig, similar to her old one, but cut shorter. She looked all around the house, looking to make notes of doors and windows. She also made a note of how many guards were on duty and which people came and left the building. She decided to watch the building for a few hours.

There are three entrances, one servant’s one on the west side, the central main entrance, and one door that looks like an emergency escape door that no one goes in or out of. People come and go all day, mostly magicians and a few swordsmen, occasionally some noble in rich clothing. She sees about four guards at any given time, the door guards with fancy halberds but the other two with short swords and crossbows.

After a while she undid a button so that her cleavage was displayed then sashayed forward towards the guard closest to the servant's entrance.
"Hello," she said. "I've got urgent business with the steward of the house."

The guard looked her over then laughed. “Do you now?” He asked. “His wife’ll love to hear that. Who should I tell him demands his immediate and undoubtedly undivided attention?”

"It's a secret," she said, and put her hand on the man's arm. "I expect you'll be well rewarded for your discretion."

“Rewarded by who?” He asked. “You best have a friend looks an awful lot like you and has a similar attitude towards people pleasing.” He looked her over. “But you have to go get changed. Boss man would have me hanged having a girl looking like she’s off the street in his house.”

She wished she had dressed up but she hadn't wanted to draw attention to herself while she was spying on the house, and then, of course, she had rushed in headlong without taking time to consider the situation properly. She had two choices, flee and try again another day, or brazen it out and hope for the best. Being Johanna, she decided to brazen it out a little longer.
"I don't exactly have a pretty dress in my pocket," she said. "Besides, you know how it is, some men like to play rough, and pretty dresses have no place in that kind of game. Could you let me in for a kiss?"

The guard seemed to consider the idea. “I would, but I can’t risk this job over a kiss,” he finally decided. “Can get those easy down the street, even if the givers don’t quite look like you.” Johanna saw the front door open and Robert walked out. She actually recognized him from a few of her performances before the quest. He had even given her a bouquet after a particularly successful ballad a few months back.

She smiled sweetly at the guard. "I'm glad to hear it. This was all a test, you know, and you past spectacularly." She blew him a kiss then turned to follow Robert. She walked slowly and quietly, keeping to the shadows.

She can follow subtly without trying to hide; the streets are busy. Robert is fall but she wouldn’t call him particularly handsome, with a crooked nose and eyes a bit too wide apart, but he had fancy clothing and stride with a confident gait towards a tavern called the Sorcerer’s Well. She knew it intimately; she performed there about every other month.

She pulled off her wig and stuffed it into her bag, shaking out her hair to let it fall naturally down her back. Then she continued to follow Robert. If he entered the tavern, she would follow.

He went right into the tavern. Johanna has Silvia’s hair but she doesn’t look like the Skylark in any other way.

She looked around to see if there were any homeless people present, perhaps beggars hoping for a coin or two.

It’s a medieval era coty. Homelessness is basically a full time job. She sees beggars who all want coins.
