	Constantine observes the stranger enter from his seat near the counter.
Seemingly intrigued (or maybe just bored), he stands and approaches the group,
pausing along the way to light a ciggarette.  
	John makes shooing motions at the incompetent city guards, who look
at Lucas strangely for a moment before turning back to whatever they were
doing before the strangers entrance.
	Lucas looks depressed.
	John looks the priest up and down momentarily, before saying, 
"Hi, I'm John."
	Constantine seems to consider remarking an the filthy state of Lucas'
clothes, but quickly realizes that they fit the priets dark mood.
	"Why dont you come sit down by the fire and tell me what the rabbit
stands for, and who you are looking for.  Also, you might be able to help me on something....."     
	John gestures toward a table by the hearth and smiles.
