Someone screwed up (ME!).
Apparently in the last panel it was unclear who had spoken the last line....
On initial reading, I had, in fact, thought Peri had chimed in to approve the name. But as that did not entirely make sense, I looked at the story several times, and realized that Peri had not yet spoken.
She is, however,
engaged in the conversation as evidenced by her moving about, bringing herself in to greater proximity to the action and the conversation.
So I still believe she's "more fully online" than they expect; and that if they ask her, she will suggest a name... or approve of one. I think she likes "Peri," as that seems to be what prompted her to "wake up" and engage.
