What "mouth worked in and out" looks like?

“No harm, the king says? No harm? Petyr fell from his horse, fell. I lost a wife the same way, falling.” His mouth worked in and out. (Game of Thrones)

Hi, could you please illustrate what "mouth worked in and out" looks like?

Thank you.

When we're upset, we sometimes lose control of our lips and lower jaw. We tremble, bit our lips, move our lips around trying to get control.
