(LSJ) Spying Mission's timing

Hello, - Suppose A (1 blood) bleeds with Govern the Unaligned, and the Slow Withering is in play (Cards that require any superior Disciplines cost an additional blood.). There is no block, the bleed amount is 3; must A pay the Govern the Unaligned before he gets the opportunity to play Spying Mission sup'? - Suppose A (1 blood) bleeds with Govern the Unaligned. In the process of the action, A plays an action modifier costing 1 blood (Elder Impersonation, Conditioning, ...). The action is not blocked, the bleed amount is strictly positive. Can A play Spying Mission sup'? Thanks! ~~ Andre LeRoux Cardtype: Vampire Clan: Toreador Group: 5 Capacity: 3 Discipline: aus Camarilla: When a vampire you control successfully bleeds, you may reduce the bleed amount by 1 to give Andre +2 bleed this turn. Spying Mission Cardtype: Action Modifier Discipline: Obfuscate [obf] +1 stealth. [OBF] Only usable when a bleed would be successful. The bleed burns no pool; it is unsuccessful. Instead, put this card on the acting vampire. The next time this vampire successfully bleeds the same Methuselah, burn this card for +2 bleed.

No. The bleed amount is immaterial, since the GtU fizzles (for cost being unpaid), so the requirement on Spying Mission ("only usable when a bleed would be successful") isn't met.
