Remus can't help but raise his eyebrows in response to such words. (And just for the record, no, he wouldn't put it past Sirius to pull a stunt like that, in public, private, or otherwise.)
But to suggest that he should be looking good? He knows exactly how he looks. He's wearing the same frumpy sweater that he'd had since last year, and it had been second-hand then. At least it fits better now. His mother had said he'd grow into it, after all. He's hit something of a growth spurt but it just leaves him feeling gangly, and he certainly doesn't feel like it's been working 'in his favor'. Whatever new scars Remus has, they are carefully concealed beneath his baggy sweater. And he's mostly rested. Certainly looking better than Sirius at least.
He knows Sirius, and thus he knows enough not to comment outright, not with anything serious (ha ha) at least, not here and now, but he does frown at him regardless. "You look like you've seen better days yourself, Pads," he retorts.
