True enough, click, but seeing as he's new it would have been polite to answer him too.

The short answer is: yes, it is entirely reasonable for that to happen within a thousand years' time. There is nothing wrong with it. It's somewhat unusual for a final consonant to gain voicing - it's much more common for final consonants to lose voicing than gain it - but that just makes it interesting, not wrong.
