He stopped walking.

Sebastian nearly walked into him.

"Something is distracting you, Sebastian. We just passed two stray cats and you did not admire them. There must be something substantial on your mind."

"My Lord, excuse me. I must be a little bit tired fro-"

"I order you to tell me."

"Very well. My Lord, I fear that Mirana-"

Ciel laughed and turned away, "Never mind. I believe we already decided that she was merely peculiar." He walked with a quicker pace, his butler's dawdling had slowed them down. Then Ciel, once again, stopped walking. Sebastian's shadow was not following him. He turned to see in the same spot as before. "Alright, if it is that important, tell me. What is it about that you must tell me about Mirana? What has been possessing your mind so?"

There was no response.

"You were so distracted by it before, and now you can not even find words? I don't have time for this, Sebastian," he walked further down the sidewalk.

"My Lord, she's cursed."

For the third time in that short period, Ciel froze in his tracks.
