Broom has spent a very long lifetime looking and sounding, and in some cases thinking, exactly as wise and intelligent as will not get a slave punished under a variety of circumstances. This usually does not call for very much wisdom and intelligence; it is better to let your masters look down on you, when that does not give them a reason to punish you.
When the Grand High Priestess of Asmodeus explains to Broom using carefully dumbed-down clauses about how he's been chosen by the goddess of preventing the world from ending, and he's allowed to kill an Asmodean if he thinks it stops the world ending but shouldn't do so otherwise, except that if he feels a very strong impulse to do anything he should probably do that whether or not it involves killing someone, Broom displays exactly the level of apparent wisdom and intelligence that makes him look like a gruff old halfling sweeper who was in fact able to grasp all that and will do it reliably. He thinks he understands, mistress; some people might make a world-threatening mess that destroys not just Cheliax but all the other countries in the world, and if it looks like they're going to do that, Broom will clean it up.
Broom does not plan to do this as a masquerade, or think any worded thoughts about it that might be picked up by Detect Thoughts; it's just a reflex by now. Like so many others in Cheliax, Broom has become not a very distinguishable person from his mask, even to himself. It may not occur to Broom for a while yet that he is now allowed to be wiser or more intelligent than he previously needed to look to his masters.
