If a character is in a state of distress, such as feeling dread, extreme anxiety, or being deeply rattled, it can be hard to not show it. Even if they maintain a state of calm in their face, they likely won't be able to keep the same level of control of their body, and this can show up in a variety of ways. One notable visual tell is if the character is holding a drink, such as a cup of tea or coffee, and their hand is obviously trembling, often to the point that they're spilling what they're drinking or on the verge of it. If they're holding a saucer or plate under the cup, the cup's rattling against it from the trembling just emphasizes the effect. This can work just as well if the character is trying to pour a drink into a cup or glass, and their hand is trembling so much that they're spilling as much as they're getting into the container.
