Just as Bishop passed the bridge to the other side of the river, a big mass of water rose up from the river streaming towards Morgan, which in turn got swept off the bridge and into the river, his heavy armor hindering his movements. 

With one victim claimed, another arc of water shot up, heading straight for Cronus. But then a wall of fire erupted from the ground, evaporating the water mid-flight. Steam billowed out on impact. More and more water shot up, but the fire only grew to meet it. Soon enough, the scalding steam filled the air, all but blinding the two men, and forcing them away from the battle of elements.

Bishop tried to get close to the river, not wanting to leave Morgan behind, drowning. Going out that way, no honor in that. That was not what he would've wanted. But...nothing to do about it, "seeing" as the steam couldn't let Bishop and Cronus see anything, add to that 2 elements clashing with each-other and the result is "technical retreating". They would come back later for Morgan...but for now they needed some food and rest. Getting information still was his main goal.

Now stuck alone with Cronus, Bishop's luck was declining by the second. Cronus being unpredictable and all, add trigger happy and a little dose of insanity to that and your chances at surviving in this world decrease substantially. At the same time, Cronus had peaked his interests. From where did that man come from? When* did that man come from and what happened to him to make him like this, or maybe he was all along like this.
Still weary of how Cronus might react upon Bishop questioned him, Bishop was reminded that they hadn't shared names yet, let alone details about their past.
"You never told me your name, did you? I'm Bishop, although a little late for a presentation but considering all that happened..."-waiting for a response Bishop also added:"Oh, and would you mind not causing any casualties while we are at the town? That would increase YOUR and MY chances of survival but at least 100%".
