TheWoWDBYou don't need to be disguised as Ly'leth still, you disguise yourself as a nightborn with the extra action button's [spell=202477] spell disguise. If you don't see the extra action button in the lower middle of your screen, you can "click" it anyway by typing:
/click ExtraActionButton1
You may want to create that as a macro, and bind a key to it, since you'll want to cast the disguise quite a bit in future Suromar quests.

Description
Time to put your new disguise to the test. Your first contact is Vanthir, a merchant from the common district. He is in the Grand Promenade today visiting one of his suppliers. Tell Vanthir to pay me a visit regarding a shipment of dusk lily bulbs. He will understand. Beyond that, we will need time to prepare. You should return to Thalyssra. <Ly'leth hands you a corked bottle of faintly glowing fluid.> Give her this, with my regards. We will call upon you soon.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Masquerade
Our family commands great respect in this city, thanks to my father. Through my network of contacts, we can organize the citizens to prepare Suramar for Thalyssra's return. You must walk among the nightborne. You must earn the trust of our friends and foes alike. You must become someone else.
After this quest
Taken from a quest that requires this one.
- Arcane Communion
All of Kel'danath's experiments to connect with the withered failed, and some even made them more dangerous. Until he found Theryn. His arcane essence - the very soul of the shal'dorei - had been touched by something special. But what?
