Can Trucy use her perception skills on your character?: Sure! His nervous expressions can be a bit subtle if he's trying to hide them, but he usually has no reason to do that. There is one exception, though: He's extremely skilled at telling little white lies - basic information like name, where he comes from, etc. 300+ years of practice at it will do that. He has no reason to lie to her, however, about things like this, so I don't think it will come up. Still, for the record!
If yes, what nervous habits does your character have that Trucy will be able to pick up on?: When he's nervous or coming down from a sudden scare, he tends to play with his hands and wrists. For something more deeply unnerving but more prolonged or less immediate, he folds his arms under his chest. He also scratches the back of his head or looks away when he's embarrassed. In Empatheias the environment might show it before he does; Trucy should keep an eye out for things like plants' leaves and flowers closing or the air currents becoming erratic.
I might be forgetting things, but reflexive responses, nervous or otherwise, will totally be in the narration, so she could pick up on them then if we have a thread where this stuff becomes relevant!
