It's not necessarily the cuddling that makes him a little awkward, it's the obvious affection behind their actions he's not used to seeing. Normally all he encounters is pale feelings between he and his moirail, it's rare when he would see two red lovers like them. Tavros is just in general more nervous about romance than the average troll. He knows a lot is expected of him as a seadweller, and frankly, he sometimes just thinks he'll never amount to what he should. Especially in all the romance business.
"He is really strange-" Pause, chuckle, his lips curving into an endeared smile. "Excuse me, extremely strange." See, he made a joke, an x joke. Though now thinking about it, without Equius here to appreciate it, the joke is just kind of dumb, whoops.
"Oh-? His moirail is. Uh, okay. Well that kind of links you two, in a way, I guess, kind of... not, not really, glub." Glances down. Descendants, ancestors, he wishes his not!descendant would have spoken to him more, ugh. What if, Dualscar and his actual descendant acted the same? And both would have treated him like- Ugh, no no, this is happy, he's around Disciple and Signless, they are nice. Focus on that.
Tavros's fins flare a little before closing and sliding back neatly under his ears bay his jaw. "I'll remind Equius to do that then, he uh, can get kind of nervous it seems like? Which is not very productive to visiting people."
"Oh, whale there certainly are a lot of people to speak to here! And uh, I bet trolls from where you're from, which is not the same as where I am from but actually a different place entirely, would be willing to talk to you and tell you about everything!" Nods. "Yes! it's really fun. I have really been enjoying learning about humans and stuff too! Like my friend Toph can do this thing called earth bending and it is pretty much the coolest thing I have seen in a long time." Well, besides trains, trains trump everything.
