It makes sense for Brandish to act the way she is. I mean the last two times we seen her she acted wacky. She didn't fight Fairy Tail because she wanted Star Mangos and when she gave Fairy Tail an order to back off and Natsu didn't she shrank the island. Same with Lucy here. Give how we have been introduced to Brandish character any serious situation involving her would be out of her character. She says she hates troublesome things and she is more care free then others. Brandish is a type of person who will do anything in her power to avoid a fight. Next chapter seems promising though.

As far as Mira situation is concerned I was somewhat BS that she took over Sayla when it was established during their fight that her takeover powers didn't work on Sayla. Although I stop looking to much into it wen she just so happened to be able to take Sayla's Macro which was BS to me also.
