I agree that Hook was never in NL as a boy. So whatever history he and Tink have it took place for the 250+ years that he spent there. If Tink was banished to NL right after the events of QACF then that’s about 10 years before the Curse. Hook came to FTL maybe a year before the Curse (we’re not 100% sure). So they would have known each other in NL for maybe 9 years.
