| I don't think it matters who talks to the guard as long as it's a Thief (or multi-class Thief). Narlen only gets upset if he sees another character with your Thief who isn't also a Thief.
Did you meet Narlen back at the guild hall? You need to talk to him again (and get your share of the loot) before the quest is over. I can't find anything in the scripts that makes the guard disappear, so I don't know what else to suggest, except perhaps to charm him with Algernon's Cloak. |
