have thomas and cutler met?

Once upon a time, Thomas punched Cutler Beckett in the face. It was awesome. 

Ridiculous Mean Girls nonsense aside, Sky and I did have some discussion about how it was likely that Cutler worked within Thomas’ circles and some of his *ahem* backdoor dealings as … it … were … ended up mixing with people Thomas felt rather protective of, thus leading to said violence. 

I actually never did do the math on it though and fun fact with the math this is actually impossible and I am mad at me. Here is why though. ( Lemme do the math for you I guess, says He Who Hates Math )

The story takes place in 1715, which coincides with the Price of Freedom timeline, when Cutler is stationed in Africa in his very early 20′s. I believe he’s 24 @tidefated correct me if I’m wrong. 

Anywhore Thomas was relevant in England 8 – 10 years ago. When Cutler was anywhere from 14 – 16 so like even if they had met I doubt tiny Cutler would have made much of an impression on the then 20-something Lord Hamilton.
