It is a bit warm out there but once he's not in direct sunlight he can at least get himself out of the sailcloth and then worry about the next need on the heirarchy. "No offense, but of all of the things I want to think about, blood is pretty low on the list."

Someone's hungry and, because he is who he is, he's trying to go without for as long as possible. The less feeding awkwardness the better.
